code-2026 — tmux

A tmux theme for the code-2026 color scheme family, ported from VS Code's Dark Modern 2026: red keywords, purple functions, teal types and light-blue strings.

The code-2026 family

Target	Repository
Neovim	code-2026-theme/nvim	colorscheme plugin
Ghostty	code-2026-theme/ghostty	terminal theme
kitty	code-2026-theme/kitty	terminal theme
Xcode	code-2026-theme/xcode	editor theme
Obsidian	code-2026-theme/obsidian	app theme
Yazi	code-2026-theme/yazi	file manager
Starship	code-2026-theme/starship	shell prompt
tmux	code-2026-theme/tmux	this repo

Every port shares one palette, so :terminal inside Neovim renders identically to the host terminal.

Requirements

• tmux 3.2+ (for sync flavor)
• Terminal with color scheme notification support (for sync):
  • Ghostty
  • kitty
  • WezTerm
  • iTerm2
  • Windows Terminal
