A single theme file for Ghostty covering the 16 ANSI colors plus background, foreground, cursor, and selection — tuned to match the VSCode Slatewave terminal block so editor and terminal share one color vocabulary.
Slatewave for Ghostty mirrors the terminal.ansi* block from the VSCode
Slatewave theme, so ls --color, git diff, and any 256-color TUI read
identically whether you’re in the editor or the terminal. Works
cleanly with the slatewave-omp prompt on top.
