1 month ago Implementing GTK theming would be a difficult task and probably not a good idea (mainly on the technical side). However, adding Freedesktop accent color support would be quite nice.
Here's a good article on the matter: https://cassidyjames.com/blog/freedesktop-accent-colors-gnome-proposal/
From https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.html:
org.freedesktop.appearanceaccent-color((ddd)) Indicates the system’s preferred accent color as a tuple of RGB values in the sRGB color space, in the range [0,1]. Out-of-range RGB values should be treated as an unset accent color.
Also want to clarify:
font settings, window decorations
Those are not related to the GTK theme. I'm not sure what you mean by the latter, but the former can be fixed separately.

Describe the feature
It would be beneficial if the Zed editor could support GTK themes to provide a consistent user experience across the desktop environment.
Current Behavior: Zed editor uses its default theme regardless of the GTK theme applied to the system.
Desired Behavior: The Zed editor should automatically adopt the system-wide GTK theme, including font settings, window decorations, and color schemes, to ensure visual consistency with other GTK applications.
Use Case: Many users prefer a unified look and feel for their applications, especially those using GTK-based desktop environments like GNOME and XFCE.
Additional Information: Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x86_64 GTK Theme: WhieSur GTK theme Zed Editor Version: 0.144.4
