This\nis a Zed port of the original [Modus Themes](https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes) built for\n[GNU Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/).\n\n## Overview\n\nThe Modus Themes are designed with accessibility and readability as primary goals. With a minimum contrast ratio of 7:1 between foreground and background elements, they reduce eye strain during long coding sessions and ensure optimal readability for all users, including those with visual impairments.\n\n## Installation\n\nIn the command palette, choose `zed: extensions` then search for `modus-themes`.\n\n## Features\n\n- **WCAG AAA Compliance**: All color combinations meet or exceed the 7:1 contrast ratio required for WCAG AAA certification\n- **Multiple Variants**: Light and dark base themes (Operandi and Vivendi), plus specialized variants for different color vision deficiencies\n- **Carefully Designed Syntax Highlighting**: Balanced and consistent highlighting that enhances code readability\n- **Optimized Terminal Support**: Colors work well in both GUI and terminal environments\n- **Accessibility First**: Designed for users with color vision deficiencies or other visual accessibility needs\n\n\n## Screenshots\n\n### Modus Operandi (Light Theme)\n\n![](./doc/images/modus_operandi.png)\n\n#### Modus Operandi Tinted\n\n![](./doc/images/modus_operandi_tinted.png)\n\n#### Modus Operandi Tritanopia\n\n![](./doc/images/modus_operandi_tritanopia.png)\n\n#### Modus Operandi Deuteranopia\n\n![](./doc/images/modus_operandi_deuteranopia.png)\n\n### Modus Vivendi (Dark Theme)\n\n![](./doc/images/modus_vivendi.png)\n\n#### Modus Vivendi Tinted\n\n![](./doc/images/modus_vivendi_tinted.png)\n\n#### Modus Vivendi Tritanopia\n\n![](./doc/images/modus_vivendi_tritanopia.png)\n\n#### Modus Vivendi Deuteranopia\n\n![](./doc/images/modus_vivendi_deuteranopia.png)\n\n## Theme Variants Explained\n\n- **Operandi**: Light theme with optimal contrast\n- **Vivendi**: Dark theme with optimal contrast\n- **Tinted**: Variants with slightly colored backgrounds for a softer look\n- **Tritanopia**: Specifically designed for users with blue-yellow color blindness\n- **Deuteranopia**: Optimized for users with red-green color blindness (specifically deuteranopia)\n\n## Development\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev) for building the themes\n\n### Build Process\n\n1. Clone this repository:\n   ```\n   git clone https://github.com/vitallium/zed-modus-themes.git\n   cd zed-modus-themes\n   ```\n\n2. Build the themes:\n   ```\n   mise build\n   ```\n   This process will compile the theme files and prepare them for installation.\n\n## Configuration\n\n### Enable bold fonts (`modus-themes-bold-constructs`)\n\nUse [Zed's feature](https://zed.dev/docs/themes#theme-overrides) to override parts of the current theme:\n\n```jsonc\n{\n  \"theme_overrides\": {\n    \"Modus Operandi\": {\n      \"syntax\": {\n        \"keyword\": {\n          \"font_weight\": 700\n        },\n        \"title\": {\n          \"font_weight\": 700\n        },\n        \"type\": {\n          \"font_weight\": 700\n        },\n        \"variable.special\": {\n          \"font_weight\": 700\n        }\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nRemember to replace the theme name with the one you want to override.\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\n- [Modus Themes](https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes): Original Modus Themes for\n  GNU Emacs\n- [Modus Themes for Neovim](https://github.com/miikanissi/modus-themes.nvim): Neovim theme used for\n  inspiration and as a template\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvitallium%2Fzed-modus-themes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvitallium%2Fzed-modus-themes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvitallium%2Fzed-modus-themes/lists"}
