Conversation
Colors extracted from official Cursor IDE profiles (v2025+). The existing Cursor Dark was ported from a third-party Zed theme and didn't match the actual Cursor terminal colors.
Cursor uses alpha-blended colors for foreground, cursor, selection, and bright black. Terminal emulators don't support alpha channels, so these are now pre-composited against the respective backgrounds.
Run gen.py and screenshot_gen for Cursor Dark and Cursor Light, update CREDITS.md and README files.

Summary
Source of truth
Colors extracted from official theme files bundled inside Cursor.app:
Author of the themes: Ryo Lu, Head of Design at Anysphere (
ryo@anysphere.co).Why update Cursor Dark?
The existing Cursor Dark was added in #588 and ported from a third-party Zed theme, not from Cursor itself. Several colors (red, green, yellow, foreground, bright black) didn't match the actual Cursor terminal palette.
Alpha channel handling
Cursor uses alpha-blended colors for foreground, cursor, selection, and bright black (e.g.
#E4E4E4EB,#E4E4E442). Since terminal emulators don't support alpha channels, these are pre-composited against the respective background colors.
