Highly accessible themes for Zed, conforming with the highest standard for color contrast between background and foreground values (WCAG AAA). This is a Zed port of the original Modus Themes built for GNU Emacs.
The 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.
- WCAG AAA Compliance: All color combinations meet or exceed the 7:1 contrast ratio required for WCAG AAA certification
- Multiple Variants: Light and dark base themes (Operandi and Vivendi), plus specialized variants for different color vision deficiencies
- Carefully Designed Syntax Highlighting: Balanced and consistent highlighting that enhances code readability
- Optimized Terminal Support: Colors work well in both GUI and terminal environments
- Accessibility First: Designed for users with color vision deficiencies or other visual accessibility needs
- Operandi: Light theme with optimal contrast
- Vivendi: Dark theme with optimal contrast
- Tinted: Variants with slightly colored backgrounds for a softer look
- Tritanopia: Specifically designed for users with blue-yellow color blindness
- Deuteranopia: Optimized for users with red-green color blindness (specifically deuteranopia)
