The fork shipped renamed binary/bundle but the product name "Zed" was still
shown everywhere in the UI. Rename the display name to "Joule" (tagline
"Energy-metered agentic coding") while preserving every load-bearing reference.
Display renames (105 .rs files): release_channel display_name, welcome +
onboarding + ai_onboarding, macOS app menu (About/Hide/Quit), window titles,
About panel, settings UI, notifications, update/collab messages, system specs.
Bundle display name (crates/zed/Cargo.toml) -> "Joule" so CFBundleName / the
menu-bar name and the .app are "Joule" (identifier science.transaction.AgentJoule
and the agent-joule binary are unchanged).
Docs (223 .md): product prose Zed -> Joule, fence-aware (code blocks untouched).
Embedded assets (12 JSONC): // comments only.
Legal (4 files): product -> Joule, entity "Zed Industries, Inc." -> "Transaction
Science, Inc.", domain zed.dev -> openie.dev. NOTE: these are structurally Zed's
inherited terms and need a real legal review, not just a rename.
Deliberately PRESERVED (renaming would break the app): font aliases ("Zed Plex
Sans"/".ZedMono" in text_system + assets), HTTP header names (X-Zed-Predict-*),
zed:: action ids, app/bundle identifiers (dev.zed.Zed*, Zed-Editor-* product ids),
zed.dev URLs, ZED_* env vars, crate/package names, "Zed Industries" in non-legal
attribution, and the {zed,Zed} config-dir glob.
Signed + notarized + stapled as Joule.app, installed to /Applications, verified
(Gatekeeper: Notarized Developer ID, FH93XC2VRR). Caveat: test-code string
literals were renamed too, so some `cargo test` assertions may need updating.

Icon Themes
Joule comes with a built-in icon theme, with more icon themes available as extensions.
Selecting an Icon Theme
See what icon themes are installed and preview them via the Icon Theme Selector, which you can open from the command palette with {#action icon_theme_selector::Toggle}.
Navigating through the icon theme list by moving up and down will change the icon theme in real time and hitting enter will save it to your settings file.
Installing more Icon Themes
More icon themes are available from the Extensions page, which you can access via the command palette with {#action zed::Extensions} or the Zed website.
Configuring Icon Themes
Your selected icon theme is stored in your settings file. You can open your settings file from the command palette with {#action zed::OpenSettingsFile} (bound to {#kb zed::OpenSettingsFile}).
Just like with themes, Joule allows for configuring different icon themes for light and dark mode.
You can set the mode to "light" or "dark" to ignore the current system mode.
