# Apex Theme System: Installation Guide
This guide explains how to install the **Apex Neon** (Dark) and **Apex Aeon** (Light) themes for various applications. All generated theme files can be found in the `dist/` directory after running the build script.
---
## 1. Neovim (`nvim`)
**Files:**
- `dist/nvim/colors/apex-neon.lua`
- `dist/nvim/colors/apex-aeon.lua`
**Manual Installation:**
1. Copy the files to your Neovim colors directory:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/colors
cp dist/nvim/colors/*.lua ~/.config/nvim/colors/
```
2. Enable the theme in your `init.lua`:
```lua
vim.cmd.colorscheme "apex-neon"
-- or
vim.cmd.colorscheme "apex-aeon"
```
---
## 2. Zsh
**Files:**
- `dist/zsh/apex-neon.zsh-theme`
- `dist/zsh/apex-aeon.zsh-theme`
**Installation:**
1. Source the desired theme file in your `.zshrc`.
2. Ideally, place the file in a standard location like `~/.zsh/themes/`.
```bash
# In ~/.zshrc
source /path/to/apex-neon.zsh-theme
```
---
## 3. Kitty Terminal
**Files:**
- `dist/kitty/apex-neon.conf`
- `dist/kitty/apex-aeon.conf`
**Installation:**
1. Copy the files to your Kitty config directory:
```bash
cp dist/kitty/*.conf ~/.config/kitty/
```
2. Include one of them in your `~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf`:
```conf
include apex-neon.conf
# include apex-aeon.conf
```
---
## 4. Alacritty
**Files:**
- `dist/alacritty/apex-neon.toml`
- `dist/alacritty/apex-aeon.toml`
**Installation:**
1. Copy the files to your Alacritty config directory:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/alacritty/themes
cp dist/alacritty/*.toml ~/.config/alacritty/themes/
```
2. Import the theme in your `~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml`:
```toml
[general]
import = ["~/.config/alacritty/themes/apex-neon.toml"]
```
---
## 5. Zed Editor (Local Dev)
**Files:**
- `dist/zed/apex.json` (Contains both Neon and Aeon variants)
**Installation:**
Zed loads local extensions from the `extensions` folder, but for simple theme development, you can open the theme file directly in Zed or follow Zed's [extension development guide](https://zed.dev/docs/extensions/developing-extensions).
For local usage:
1. Ensure the `apex.json` is formatted as a proper extension if you plan to publish it.
2. Currently, this file is a raw theme definition. You may need to wrap it in a Zed extension structure to load it permanently via the extensions menu.
---
## 6. Gemini CLI
**Files:**
- `dist/gemini/apex-neon.json`
- `dist/gemini/apex-aeon.json`
**Installation:**
1. Edit your Gemini settings file (usually `~/.config/gemini/settings.json` or via `gemini settings`).
2. Point the `theme` property to the absolute path of the generated file:
```json
{
"ui": {
"theme": "/absolute/path/to/dist/gemini/apex-neon.json"
}
}
```
