## Context Replaces the native system prompt used for "About Zed" with a custom standalone GPUI window which can open without the need for opening a Zed editor window of none are currently open. Closes #49157 ## How to Review Single file change in `crates/zed/src/zed.rs` — the `about` function is replaced by `open_about_window`. The new window deduplicates itself, matches the old layout (title, version info, Ok + Copy buttons), and closes on either button or Escape. ## Screenshots ### Old Behavior Opening the about window when no other Zed window is open will open a new empty zed window and display the about window on top: <img width="1710" height="1072" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/10a22027-4aa8-4cc9-9d91-368d76bb6a91" /> ### New Behavior If there is no open Zed window we just open an instance of the new About window: <img width="1710" height="1076" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e55c92dc-18db-4556-83bd-1a78db754eff" /> If there is at least one open Zed window, we display the About window on top of it: <img width="1710" height="1075" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a653e402-a107-4b50-8d09-7d50f537b36c" /> In bright mode: <img width="1710" height="1071" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c72f8856-7152-47a6-a630-0875372a270f" /> Additionally, the ESC button will now act like clicking the Ok button and close the about window without copying its content. ## Self-Review Checklist - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - no new tests have been implemented - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable Release Notes: - Improved the About Zed dialog to open as a standalone window instead of a native system prompt --------- Co-authored-by: Danilo Leal <daniloleal09@gmail.com>
