Version 14 Theme for Ghostty

A terminal color scheme for Ghostty, built around the Version 14 brand palette, the same palette used across the Zed, VS Code, and Neovim/Vim ports.

Variants

Variant	File	Description
Version 14	version14	Deep dark background with a violet accent
Version 14 Black	version14-black	Pure black background, for OLED displays
Version 14 Light	version14-light	Bright neutral surfaces with a deep violet accent

The violet accent is a placeholder hue. It replaces a retired lime green accent and will change again once a permanent hue is chosen. The rest of the palette is stable.

Installation

1. Copy the variant file you want into ~/.config/ghostty/themes/.

   One file at a time:

   curl -o ~/.config/ghostty/themes/version14 \
     https://raw.githubusercontent.com/version14/ghostty-theme/main/version14

   Or all three at once:

   git clone https://github.com/version14/ghostty-theme /tmp/ghostty-theme
   cp /tmp/ghostty-theme/version14* ~/.config/ghostty/themes/

2. In ~/.config/ghostty/config, set:

   theme = version14
   

3. Reload Ghostty's config (Cmd+Shift+, or restart) to apply.

Repeat step 2 with version14-black or version14-light to switch variants.

Verify

ghostty +show-config | grep '^theme'

This should print theme = version14 (or whichever variant you set). If it does not, confirm the file landed in ~/.config/ghostty/themes/ and that config was saved before reloading.
