code-2026 — kitty

Dark and light themes for kitty, ported from VS Code's Dark Modern 2026: red keywords, purple functions, teal types and light-blue strings.

The code-2026 family

Target	Repository
Neovim	code-2026-theme/nvim	colorscheme plugin
Ghostty	code-2026-theme/ghostty	terminal theme
kitty	code-2026-theme/kitty	this repo
Xcode	code-2026-theme/xcode	editor theme
Obsidian	code-2026-theme/obsidian	app theme
Yazi	code-2026-theme/yazi	file manager

Every port shares one palette, so :terminal inside Neovim renders identically to the host terminal.

Install

Use the install script (backs up existing themes):

./install.sh

Or copy the theme into kitty's themes directory:

cp themes/code-2026.conf ~/.config/kitty/themes/code-2026.conf
# or for the light variant:
cp themes/light-2026.conf ~/.config/kitty/themes/light-2026.conf

Then in ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf:

include themes/code-2026.conf
# or
include themes/light-2026.conf

Reload with ctrl+shift+f5, or restart kitty.
