Omazed

Live theme switching for Zed in Omarchy - automatically synchronize your Zed editor theme with your Omarchy system theme. Includes automatic theme generation from Alacritty configs when no Zed theme is available.

Features

• 🎨 Live Theme Switching: Zed theme changes instantly when you change your Omarchy system theme
• 🤖 Automatic Theme Generation: Creates Zed themes from Alacritty configs when no pre-made theme exists
• 🪝 Omarchy Hook Integration: Uses native omarchy hooks for seamless integration (no background service needed!)
• ⚡ Lightweight: Simple bash script

Installation

AUR (Recommended)

yay -S omazed

# Complete setup
omazed setup

That's it! Live theme switching is now active.

Note: Version 1.1.0+ uses the new omarchy hook system available in omarchy 3.1.0. If you're upgrading from an older version, run omazed setup to automatically migrate from systemd to hooks.

Manual Install

git clone https://github.com/aps6/omazed.git
cd omazed
./install.sh

Quick Update

AUR Installation

yay -S omazed && omazed setup

Manual Installation

cd omazed && git pull && ./install.sh

How It Works

1. Theme Installation: Copies .json theme files to ~/.config/zed/themes/
2. Hook Integration: Adds omazed set "$1" to ~/.config/omarchy/hooks/theme-set
3. Theme Change Trigger: When you change your Omarchy theme, omarchy calls the hook
4. Theme Resolution: Uses pre-made theme or generates one from Alacritty config
5. Settings Update: Updates ~/.config/zed/settings.json with new theme
6. Instant Apply: Zed automatically picks up the theme change

Available Themes

The following default Omarchy themes are included:

• Catppuccin
• Catppuccin Latte
• Everforest
• Gruvbox
• Kanagawa
• Matte Black
• Nord
• Osaka Jade
• Ristretto
• Rose Pine
• Tokyo Night
• Flexoki Light
• Ethereal
• Hackerman

Automatic Theme Generation

For themes without pre-made Zed themes, Omazed automatically:

• Reads the Alacritty config from ~/.config/omarchy/current/alacritty.toml
• Extracts color palette information
• Generates a compatible Zed theme with proper syntax highlighting
• Saves the generated theme for future use

This ensures that all Omarchy themes work with Zed.

Note: Some extra themes may not work with the converter.

Adding Custom Themes

1. Add your .json theme file to the ~/.config/zed/themes directory

   Tip: You can find additional themes at zed-themes.com

2. Ensure that the theme name matches the omarchy theme name (ex: Tokyo Night) and the file name is the theme name in lowercase separated by '-' (ex: tokyo-night).
3. The sync script will automatically use it when that theme is active

Usage

Commands

# Set up themes and hook integration (or systemd fallback)
omazed setup

# Set a specific theme by name (used by omarchy hooks)
omazed set "theme-name"

# Sync current omarchy theme to Zed
omazed sync

Migration from Older Versions

If you're upgrading from v1.0.x or earlier (systemd-based):

# Automatic migration
omazed setup

This will:

• Detect your existing systemd setup
• Stop and disable the systemd service
• Set up omarchy hook integration
• Preserve all your themes and settings

You can safely remove the old systemd service file afterwards:

rm ~/.config/systemd/user/omazed.service

Troubleshooting

Theme Not Syncing (Hook-based setup)

# Check if hook file exists and is executable
ls -la ~/.config/omarchy/hooks/theme-set

# Manually sync once to test
omazed sync

# Try setting a specific theme
omazed set "tokyo-night"
