Instead of porting one specific theme to all these apps, wouldn't it be better to have a "metatheme" which can generate proper themes for all of these apps based on a template? I don't see why this wouldn't be possible, but I don't have any experience with skinning apps.

If this is a theme thread then the Modus themes by Protesilaos are the best emacs themes for me by far. https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes

Ever since moving to a low-contrast theme (zenburn; +10 years ago) I can't stand to look at themes like that. They hurt my eyes!

Dracula is a fine theme, however, I feel like it's more convenient than it is pretty. I admire Dracula, Nord, and Gruvbox and how committed they are to their own aesthetics - my personal favorite, similar to Gruvbox, is Alduin[0] but sadly it's for Vim only. I only wish popular themes didn't feel like they had to use every primary color for the text. I wish we took the popular themes and made them even more opinionat…

Would recommend checking out Github color themes for VSCode if you use that: https://github.com/primer/github-vscode-theme

I feel these themes strike a very nice balance in color contrasts and finally provide me with a light theme I can also use, although being a dark theme user for who knows how many years, the github light theme just works really nicely.

They also have two variations of both themes, which is nice, for changing around when one or the other starts to feel boring or unreadable.
