Closes#18565
I could use some advice on the color palette / theming. A couple
options:
1. The `drop_target_background` color could be used for the border if we
didn't use it for the background of the tab. In VSCode, the background
color of tabs doesn't change as you're dragging, there's just a border
between tabs. My only concern with this option is that the current
`drop_target_background` color is a bit subtle when used for a small
area like a border.
2. Another option could be to add a `drop_target_border` theme color,
but I don't know how much complexity this adds to implementation
(presumably all existing themes would need to be updated?).

Closes#32354
The issue is that we render selections over the text in the agent panel,
but under the text in editor, so themes that have no alpha for the
selection background color (defaults to 0xff) will just occlude the
selected region. Making the selection render under the text in markdown
would be a significant (and complicated) refactor, as selections can
cross element boundaries (i.e. spanning code block and a header after
the code block).
The solution is to add a new highlight to themes
`element_selection_background` that defaults to the local players
selection background with an alpha of 0.25 (roughly equal to 0x3D which
is the alpha we use for selection backgrounds in default themes) if the
alpha of the local players selection is 1.0. The idea here is to give
theme authors more control over how the selections look outside of
editor, as in the agent panel specifically, the background color is
different, so while an alpha of 0.25 looks acceptable, a different color
would likely be better.
CC: @iamnbutler. Would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Clearly, the selection in the after doesn't look _that_ great, but it is
better than the before, and this PR makes the color of the selection
configurable by the theme so that this theme author could make it a
lighter color for better contrast.

A user on Discord reported an issue where the minimap thumb was fully
opaque:
<img
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5049c6a3-f89a-4ceb-9d1b-ec06e7fe9151"
height="300">
This can happen because the scrollbar and its thumb might not
neccessarily be transparent at all.
Thus, this PR adds the`minimap.thumb.background` and
`minimap.thumb.border` colors to themes so theme authors can specify
custom colors for both here.
Furthermore, I ensured that the minimap thumb background fallback value
can never be entirely opaque. The values were arbitrarily chosen to
avoid the issue from occuring whilst keeping currently working setups
working. With the new properties added, authors (and users) should be
able to avoid running into this issue altogether so I would argue for
this special casing to be fine. However, open to change it should a
different approach be preferrred.
Release Notes:
- Added `minimap.thumb.background` and `minimap.thumb.border` to themes
to customize the thumb color and background of the minimap.
- Fixed an issue where the minimap thumb could be opaque if the theme
did not specify a color for the thumb.
Follow-up to #28064
This PR adds the `scrollbar_thumb_active_background` to themes and uses
it for the editor scrollbars to color these whilst they are being
dragged. This way, we provide the best customizabiliy for the scrollbars
and enable theme authors to add good contrasts between all the three
states `ScrollbarThumbState::Idle`, `ScrollbarThumbState::Hovered` and
ScrollbarThumbState::Dragging`.
It also adds this to the VsCode theme importer so any future imported
themes will have this set as well.
Whenever the property is not set, I decided it is best to fall back to
the normal `thumb_background` for the time being, as this way the
distinction and contrast between hovered and active state is better than
having the same color for hovering and dragging the scrollbar.
Example with active color set via `experimental.theme_overrides` in the
settings:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9934e75b-6e0a-4a41-90ba-bfffb89865e7
Release Notes:
- Added the `scrollbar.thumb.active_background` color to themes. Theme
authors can use this property in combination with
`scrollbar.thumb.hover_background` to customize the color of the editor
scrollbar thumbs while these are hovered or being dragged.
Nathan here: I also tacked on a bunch of UI refinement.
Release Notes:
- Introduced the ability to follow the agent around as it reads and
edits files.

Closes#26847
Release Notes:
- Updated Git panel background to use panel_background instead of
ElevationIndex::Surface.bg(cx) for consistency with other panels.
- Removed redundant GitStatusColors struct from status.rs and refactored
to use existing theme colors.
- Adjusted Color enum mappings in color.rs to reference
version_control_* colors instead of status() for better alignment with
the theme system.
- Cleaned up unused or redundant code.

Certain themes define the `created` and `deleted` status colors, but not
`created_background` and `deleted_background`. Previously, Zed would use
`created` and `deleted` colors, and apply a hard-coded opacity change,
but *not* use `created_background` and `deleted_background`, but that
behavior was inadvertently changed in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/22994.
This PR restores the old behavior as a fallback. If a theme defines a
status color, but not the corresponding background color, we'll use a
75% transparent version of the foreground color as a fallback.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue in certain themes where diffs would render with the
wrong red and green colors for deletions and insertions.
There's still a bit more work to do on this, but this PR is compiling
(with warnings) after eliminating the key types. When the tasks below
are complete, this will be the new narrative for GPUI:
- `Entity<T>` - This replaces `View<T>`/`Model<T>`. It represents a unit
of state, and if `T` implements `Render`, then `Entity<T>` implements
`Element`.
- `&mut App` This replaces `AppContext` and represents the app.
- `&mut Context<T>` This replaces `ModelContext` and derefs to `App`. It
is provided by the framework when updating an entity.
- `&mut Window` Broken out of `&mut WindowContext` which no longer
exists. Every method that once took `&mut WindowContext` now takes `&mut
Window, &mut App` and every method that took `&mut ViewContext<T>` now
takes `&mut Window, &mut Context<T>`
Not pictured here are the two other failed attempts. It's been quite a
month!
Tasks:
- [x] Remove `View`, `ViewContext`, `WindowContext` and thread through
`Window`
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Redraw window when entities change
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Get examples and Zed running
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Fix Zed rendering
- [x] [@mikayla-maki] Fix todo! macros and comments
- [x] Fix a bug where the editor would not be redrawn because of view
caching
- [x] remove publicness window.notify() and replace with
`AppContext::notify`
- [x] remove `observe_new_window_models`, replace with
`observe_new_models` with an optional window
- [x] Fix a bug where the project panel would not be redrawn because of
the wrong refresh() call being used
- [x] Fix the tests
- [x] Fix warnings by eliminating `Window` params or using `_`
- [x] Fix conflicts
- [x] Simplify generic code where possible
- [x] Rename types
- [ ] Update docs

This PR adds a theme preview tab to help get an at a glance overview of
the styles in a theme.

You can open it using `debug: open theme preview`.
The next major theme preview PR will move this into it's own crate, as
it will grow substantially as we add content.
Next for theme preview:
- Update layout to two columns, with controls on the right for selecting
theme, layer/elevation-index, etc.
- Cover more UI elements in preview
- Display theme colors in a more helpful way
- Add syntax & markdown previews
Release Notes:
- Added a way to preview the current theme's styles with the `debug:
open theme preview` command.

- Removed two unused stories and the story dep
- Removed the `one` theme family (from the `theme` crate, not the app),
this is now `zed_default_themes`.
- This will hopefully remove some confusion caused by this theme we
started in rust but didn't end up using
- Removed `theme::prelude` (it just re-exported scale colors, which we
don't use outside `theme`)
- Removed completely unused `zed_pro` themes (we started on these during
the gpui2 port and didn't finish them.)

This PR enables required documentation for the `theme` crate starts on
documenting it.
The end goal is to have all meaningful documentation in the crate filled
out – However I'm not sure that just adding `#![deny(missing_docs)]` to
the whole crate is the right approach.
I don't know that having 200+ "The color of the _ color" field docs is
useful however–In the short term I've excluded some of the modules that
contain structs with a ton of fields (`colors, `status`, etc.) until we
decide what the right solution here is.
Next steps are to clean up the crate, removing unused modules or those
with low usage in favor of other approaches.
Changes in this PR:
- Enable the `deny(missing_docs)` lint for the `theme` crate
- Start documenting a subset of the crate.
- Enable `#![allow(missing_docs)]` for some modules.

This PR removes the default syntax colors from the theme.
With the changes in #11911 these colors could leak through if the theme
didn't provide a value for that syntax color.
Removing them gives themes a clean slate to work with.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR improves the merging behavior for the `SyntaxTheme` such that
user-provided values get merged into the base theme.
This makes it possible to override individual styles without clobbering
the unspecified styles in the base theme.
Release Notes:
- Improved merging of `syntax` styles in the theme.
This PR addresses a TODO comment by making `SyntaxTheme::new_test` only
available in tests.
We needed to make it available when the `test-support` feature was
enabled for it to be used in tests outside of the `theme` crate.
Release Notes:

This PR adjusts the names of the negated style methods by moving the
`neg_` to after the property name instead of before.

### Problem
After transitioning Zed to GPUI 2, we started noticing that interacting
with the mouse on many UI elements would lead to a pretty annoying
flicker. The main issue with the old approach was that hover state was
calculated based on the previous frame. That is, when computing whether
a given element was hovered in the current frame, we would use
information about the same element in the previous frame.
However, inspecting the previous frame tells us very little about what
should be hovered in the current frame, as elements in the current frame
may have changed significantly.
### Solution
This pull request's main contribution is the introduction of a new
`after_layout` phase when redrawing the window. The key idea is that
we'll give every element a chance to register a hitbox (see
`ElementContext::insert_hitbox`) before painting anything. Then, during
the `paint` phase, elements can determine whether they're the topmost
and draw their hover state accordingly.
We are also removing the ability to give an arbitrary z-index to
elements. Instead, we will follow the much simpler painter's algorithm.
That is, an element that gets painted after will be drawn on top of an
element that got painted earlier. Elements can still escape their
current "stacking context" by using the new `ElementContext::defer_draw`
method (see `Overlay` for an example). Elements drawn using this method
will still be logically considered as being children of their original
parent (for keybinding, focus and cache invalidation purposes) but their
layout and paint passes will be deferred until the currently-drawn
element is done.
With these changes we also reworked geometry batching within the
`Scene`. The new approach uses an AABB tree to determine geometry
occlusion, which allows the GPU to render non-overlapping geometry in
parallel.
### Performance
Performance is slightly better than on `main` even though this new
approach is more correct and we're maintaining an extra data structure
(the AABB tree).

Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug that was causing popovers to flicker.

This PR is a follow-up to #7084, where I noted that I wasn't satisfied
with using `SharedUri` to represent both URIs and paths on the local
filesystem:
> I'm still not entirely happy with this naming, as the file paths that
we can store in here are not _really_ URIs, as they are lacking a
protocol.
>
> I want to explore changing `SharedUri` / `SharedUrl` back to alway
storing a URL and treat local filepaths differently, as it seems we're
conflating two different concerns under the same umbrella, at the
moment.
`SharedUri` has now been reverted to just containing a `SharedString`
with a URI.
`ImageSource` now has a new `File` variant that is used to load an image
from a `PathBuf`.

This PR implements support for loading and displaying images from a
local file using gpui's `img` element.
API Changes:
- Changed `SharedUrl` to `SharedUrl::File`, `SharedUrl::Network`
Usage:
```rust
// load from network
img(SharedUrl::network(...)) // previously img(SharedUrl(...)
// load from filesystem
img(SharedUrl::file(...))
```
This will be useful when implementing markdown image support, because we
need to be able to render images from the filesystem (relative/absolute
path), e.g. when implementing markdown preview #5064.
I also added an example `image` to the gpui crate, let me know if this
is useful. Showcase:
<img width="872" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/assets/53836821/b4310a26-db81-44fa-9a7b-61e7d0ad4349">
**Note**: The example is fetching images from [Lorem
Picsum](https://picsum.photos) ([Github
Repo](https://github.com/DMarby/picsum-photos)), which is a free
resource for fetching images in a specific size. Please let me know if
you're okay with using this in the example.
This PR adds more terminal colors that were present in the Zed1 themes
to the Zed2 theme.
Namely, we now have the `dim_` variants for the various ANSI colors and
various `foreground` colors.
Release Notes:
- Improved terminal colors.
