I tried using it to reproduce my favourite Soda Dark / Sunburst colour combination from Sublime Text. It was a really sisyphean task.

In the end I fed some screenshots (and original ST4 config) to AI studio and it came up with something workable but not exactly a replica. Naturally different editors have different semantic tokens.

You could solve this fairly easily by giving an LLM the json definition of your sublime text theme and just transforming it onto a zed spec theme? No need for screenshots.
Wasn't enough (at least with Gemini 3). I had do a few round trips with screenshots until it got all the details.
Interesting - now that I think about it, feeding Claude my particular Xcode theme from VS code to replicate in Zed, the color tones were quite far off how it looked in cursor. I don't know enough about color rendering to know why that is, but I feel you!
