Same colors,
every surface.
Strings stay teal whether you're in VSCode, bat, Helix, or Sublime. Errors stay rose. The palette doesn't reset when you switch tools.
A cohesive theme system
One palette.
Every tool.
One palette mapped onto every tool you live in — editor, terminal, prompt, notes, launcher, chat. Strings stay teal whichever surface you're on. Errors stay rose.

Why Slatewave
Stop re-picking colors for every tool.
Same colors,
Mapped,
not approximated.
Each port maps the same semantic roles to its native theme keys —
terminal.ansi* in VSCode, theme[plus_emph_style]
in delta. No eyeballing screenshots.
Adopt one.
Add the rest.
Install the editor theme today. The terminal, prompt, notes app, launcher, and chat ports all use the same hex values when you're ready for them.
Start here
Install Slatewave where it will change your day first.
Pick the workflow you use most, copy the install command, then expand the same palette across the rest of your setup.
Most direct
Start in VSCode or Cursor
Get the editor palette first: syntax, workbench chrome, selections, and diff colors all tuned for long sessions.
Install editor theme →Terminal-first
Match your prompt and shell
Carry the same slate foundation and teal accent into Oh My Posh, Starship, Ghostty, tmux, and terminal palettes.
Use terminal bundle →One command
Install the whole family at once
brew install the Slatewave CLI, then slatewave init
detects what's on your machine and installs every theme you pick — backups,
uninstall, and all.
The same palette, everywhere
A few surfaces. One visual language.
Editor, terminal, notes — three of the 31 shipping themes, rendered with the authoritative Slatewave palette. These previews aren't screenshots; they use the same colors you'd install. See all 31 themes →

Headings
Plain body text sits at var(--sw-slate-200) over the slate editor.
Bold brightens toward #f1f5f9 so
emphasis reads clearly. Italics shift muted toward var(--sw-slate-300).
