Material Prism

A collection of translucent dark themes for Zed with frosted glass blur, built on the Material Design 3 color system.

Originally based on dark-glass-theme by Magnus Pladsen (which itself is based on Zedokai by slymax).

Variants

Name	Background tint
Material Prism	Neutral dark
Material Prism - Pink	Warm rose
Material Prism - Indigo	Deep blue
Material Prism - Teal	Cool green
Material Prism - Amber	Warm amber
Material Prism - Deep Purple	Rich violet
Material Prism - Blue Grey	Cool grey
Material Prism - Brown	Warm brown

Setup

The theme works out of the box in Zed, but to get the frosted glass blur effect you need a compositor that supports it.

Hyprland

Add to your hyprland.conf:

decoration {
    blur {
        enabled = true
        size = 8
        passes = 2
        ignore_opacity = true
        new_optimizations = true
        xray = false
    }
}

Make sure no_blur is not applied globally to all windows. If you use a dots config like end-4/dots-hyprland, comment out the line:

# windowrule = match:class .*, no_blur on

KDE Plasma

Enable Blur in System Settings → Desktop Effects → Blur.

Installation

Search for Material Prism in the Zed extension marketplace, or add manually to ~/.config/zed/settings.json:

{
  "theme": "Material Prism - Deep Purple"
}
