Feature request: Support Vira theme for JetBrains IDEs and Zed

[minhhua-EH]

Feature description

Vira is a great theme so it'd be much better if we could support this theme for other products with large users like JetBrains IDEs or Zed.

Hello @minhhua-EH, thanks for reaching out to us. Regarding the Zed porting, it’s currently not feasible. They don’t support closed-source extensions, lack a robust theming API, and the extension publishing process is quite basic (pushing submodules to their repository on every update). Furthermore, they don’t have any control over license violations or appropriations. For more information, you can read here.

While we’re actively evaluating a port for IntelliJ (we’ve already defined the core things), it’s extremely complicated and time-consuming compared to VS Code. This is because IntelliJ lacks documentation and references for themes, making it a challenge to find solutions and reverse engineer the code.

Yeah would love a Jetbrains Vira Theme but I know the documentation especially with styling their Junie and AI windows suck or don't exist.

We started the development for IntelliJ, this will require some months before a first beta release

Awesome! I'd love to help test the beta when it's ready 😊

This might be an insane take but since using Vira I've specifically not used tools without the theme because I love it so much.

To me aesthetics, how an editor looks and makes me feel is a big part of developer joy. The right theme and font makes coding feel like a video game. It gives me the dopamine and motivation to keep building!

I ditched Zed + Jetbrains. I really like Kiro but it doesn't support Vira. How working in these tools makes me feel is just as important as how functional it is these days.
