Solarized Dark for a long time, then Solarized Light b/c the rest of my windows/themes are all light.

Now it's Dracula, b/c it's fun and widely supported. I still use light themes for everything else.

(I used iTerm + tmux + neovim for coding)

I'm impressed at just how hard it is to see what catppuccin actually looks like in VSCode without installing it first. The catppuccin github has no screenshots, and the catppuccin-for-vscode github/site has exactly one screenshot, which is split into diagonal "bands" for the four different versions of the scheme, and only one of those bands has a significant amount of code.

I'm colorblind (protanopia), which makes most color schemes unusable in some way. I use the default Visual Studio Code darkmode color theme. It's perfect for my type of colorblindness! The colors have great contrast for me, and I can easily read everything.

Big fan of gruvbox dark in vim. I don't normally use dark mode in other contexts but gruvbox is warm without any loud colors.

I used to use an absolutely terrible colorscheme named sakura light or something, anyone I showed my editor to would be blinded lol.

Daytime: this bbedit colorscheme in vim https://github.com/nburns/bbedit-vim-colors/blob/master/colo...

Nighttime: solarized dark

Switched to a light background during the daytime and a dark background during the nighttime with this plugin I made for vim: https://github.com/nburns/vim-auto-light-dark

Been using Monokai Pro https://monokai.pro/ for Jetbrains editors and Visual Studio Code for a while now. I still haven't gotten that itch to switch themes.
