# Polycarbonate Dark Theme
Turn Zed into a clean slab of dark glass.
## Included Themes
- Polycarbonate sha1
- Polycarbonate Ayu Dark
- Polycarbonate Gruvbox Dark
- Polycarbonate One Dark
## Preview
## Installation
1. Open the Zed extensions page
2. Search for `Polycarbonate Dark`
3. Click install
## Using with TranslucentTB
When using it with [TranslucentTB](https://github.com/TranslucentTB/TranslucentTB), it is recommended to set the accent to `clear` and the color to `#000000DD`. This will seamlessly blend Zed with the Windows taskbar, as shown in the preview.

## Known Issues
Zed's current transparency implementation prevents this theme from displaying git gutter colors.
Under 10 bpc color depth, the Windows Multi Panel Overlay (MPO) function may encounter a graphics driver error that incorrectly calculates transparency. This bug causes the actual window transparency to be higher than the set transparency. In addition to Zed's native transparency settings, the [VSCode skacekachna.win-opacity plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=skacekachna.win-opacity), [foobar2000](https://www.foobar2000.org/), and TranslucentTB are all affected by this bug. If you think the default transparency of this plugin is too high, it is most likely due to this bug. The solution is to set the graphics card color depth output to 8 bpc.
