Cool idea of making it available across so many different applications, but I wish it was aesthetically pleasing. It just doesn't do it for me...

Nord also has ports for some applications (Emacs, Guake and Tmux are those I care about). Unfortunately, not for all daily apps yet. https://www.nordtheme.com/ports

Hadn't seen this one before. The darker Nord themes are definitely more of my style. Thanks for calling it out!

I think I might be neurodivergent, having a similar look and feel across code editors and terminals always pleases me greatly for some reason. That’s definitely one reason I like Dracula; it’s so easy to get it across everything I use. Been using it for over a year; IMO it’s a pretty readable theme that’s easy on the eyes.

No, you're actually basic as fuck.

I envy those who can use dark colour schemes. It hurts my eyes for some reason.

I switch between a variety of middle-value color schemes. Like QB64 but with less saturated color overall and a bit less contrast, plus some red, green, and gold or orange hue backgrounds thrown in for variety. The dark themes or the light ones never work that well for me.

I've started creating my own (only for Geany so far) because there just aren't many like that.

I use Dracula for pretty much everything. Code editors, terminals, browsers, Slack, and even CSS skins for Tailwind, Wordpress, and more, if I'm installing an application, there's a pretty good chance there's already a theme for it.

But there's an interesting side effect of having a theme repository with over 200 applications: app discovery! Whether it's learning about interesting projects (BetterDiscord, MatterMost, Obsidian) or blasts from the past (I hadn't thought about BBEdit in a long time! And does anyone remember Brackets?), it's kind of a cool spot to find and remember things.

Good work and thank you to everyone who has worked on these themes, I use them every day for a lot of apps :)

Some reason = probably strong myopia or astigmatism.

I have those issues and with dark themes (or just in the night when I’m tired) my eye’s lens tend to open so widely that my vision becomes blurred because the focus point of my eyes is now behind my glasses.

If you support contact lenses, it’s an issue they can effectively fix because the focus point can never be behind your correction lens.
