Search for\n`VSCode Light+` and install it. Pick the theme in the theme selector with\n\u003ckbd\u003eCmd\u003c/kbd\u003e+\u003ckbd\u003eShift\u003c/kbd\u003e+\u003ckbd\u003eP\u003c/kbd\u003e -\u003e `theme selector: toggle` -\u003e `VSCode\nLight+`.\n\n\n## Current Limitations\n\n### Dim and washed out colors\n\nThe whole genesis of this theme port was because every light Zed theme was all\ndim/dull/muted and washed out (everything is grey-ish) with not enough contrast. This\ntheme is an improvement but doesn't totally solve the problem because it seems to be a\nfundamental issue with how Zed handles rendering and colors (as experienced on Manjaro,\narch-based Linux). See the following issues for more context:\n\n - https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/9057\n - https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/19100\n - https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/6485#discussioncomment-4937330\n - https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/17890\n - https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/8293#issuecomment-2299761507\n - https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/15521\n - Even the theme previews on [zed-themes.com](https://zed-themes.com/) are much more\n   vibrant because the browser is rendering things as expected.\n\nZed on Linux (dim) | Zed on macOS (normal)\n--- | ---\n![Zed on Linux has dim and washed out colors](./screenshots/zed/zed-linux-vscode-light-plus-theme1.png) | \u003cimg alt=\"Zed on macOS looks normal\" src=\"./screenshots/zed/zed-macos-vscode-light-plus-theme1.png\" width=\"1230\"\u003e\n![Zed on Linux has dim and washed out colors](./screenshots/zed/zed-linux-vscode-light-plus-theme2.png) | \u003cimg alt=\"Zed on macOS looks normal\" src=\"./screenshots/zed/zed-macos-vscode-light-plus-theme2.png\" width=\"1230\"\u003e\n\n\n### Syntax Highlighting\n\nZed's bundled `highlights.scm` files at\nhttps://github.com/zed-industries/zed/tree/main/crates/languages/src often do not\ndefine all the queries for syntax nodes needed to style the theme. This means that some\nsyntax nodes have different colors when compared to the original theme.\n\n\n## Development\n\nAs you can see if you dive into the theme file, there are plenty of things that are not\nfilled in as I couldn't see where they were being used in Zed. Feel free to create PR's\nto fill in any gaps (include screenshots and context).\n\nAlso see the [*developer notes*](./dev-notes.md) for more information.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmadlittlemods%2Fzed-theme-vscode-light-plus","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmadlittlemods%2Fzed-theme-vscode-light-plus","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmadlittlemods%2Fzed-theme-vscode-light-plus/lists"}
