Earlier quoted context omitted.

add in some circadian.el and then you’re really cookin’ :)

I have GNOME do the auto dark theme thing automatically, so all Emacs has to do is listen to dbus signals and act accordingly: (defun theme-switcher (value) (pcase value ;; No Preference. Used by GNOME to indicate light theme. (0 (sph/load-light-theme)) ;; Prefers dark (1 (sph/load-dark-theme)) ;; Prefers light (2 (sph/load-light-theme)) (_ (message "Invalid key value")))) (defun handler (value) (theme-switcher (car…

oh, very good.

i3 lacks such chrome, i think, but that’s ok

For my needs, contrast must be strong. Hence I mostly stick to the defaults on a 16-color urxvt.

vim: `ron` which I think is the default.

vifm: custom-made colorscheme (https://github.com/m7a/lp-conf-cli/blob/master/vifmrc if you're interested, screenshot: https://masysma.net/32/conf-cli_att/scrvifmtheme.png)

Occasionally, I turn off syntax highlighting altogether (most often this happens in Markdown or HTML documents where the default syntax highlighting does stupid things like trying to set the font to italic...)

Time for one maybe folks haven't heard of: Plastic. It was done by one of the folks originally involved with Atom One Dark: https://plastictheme.com/

I really liked Atom One Dark. After trying many color schemes for VSCode, I found Plastic to be my favorite. I never knew there was a connection!

Me neither, until the author mentioned it to me in on GH!

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.

The catpuccin/vscode repo does have screenshots. They're collapsed under the "Previews" header, so you have to click each of the variants you want to view. Annoying, but they're there.

On Sublime Text Chelevra[1] has been my favorite for a long time. Lately I've also been using a couple of Alabaster[2] variations. To me the most important thing is to have just enough color. I find too much color distracting.

"ir_black" is the colorscheme I've come back to most often. Came across it a decade or so ago, and there's something about this scheme that's appealed a lot to me (I think it's something to do with the color palette being in-sync with my mental model of programming constructs?) and it's been my primary colorscheme since.

Available on vim [1], iterm [2] and VSCode as well [3]
