I wish there was a universal 'colorscheme' standard that every text editor (Vim/Emacs/VSCode/Jetbrains/otherIDEs) all plugged into. And you could 'load/save' your settings across different apps etc... each one saving into the same _standardized_ file format. Then a site like this would work with me just 'ctrl-c'/ ctrl-v'ing the colorscheme into _any_ text editor (heck any program) target.

My first thought was that this is some kind of delayed april fool, since all color schemes looked the same (b/w) to me, until I realised that I have to turn-on javascript.

I love consistency which is why dracula never disappoints. Dracula has schemes for literally every shell/tui/gui I care about (there is even a Dracula mode in Firefox "Dark Reader"). And it goes really well with happy colorful wallpapers (cyberpunk colors of the 80ies or rick + morty cartoons). The only thing I might consider replacing it with is Nord. But last time I checked Nord still wasn't covering all I want.

Don't you mean 'Darcula'?

Sure, there's a 'Dracula' theme for vim, but it's not really universal and consistent.

I meant dracula. why isn't it consistent from your experience? perhaps when comparing the schemes across editors or different terminals? (I only use one specific terminal and 1 editor so I don't see this)

Over recent years I've been drawn to the cross-tool themes like Nord and Dracula. https://www.nordtheme.com/ https://draculatheme.com/ Having consistency between neovim, fzf, bat, tmux, tig and fish is lovely.

oh man dracula is so good. just installed on my vscode. 25 years with vim...all the way with vscode now

With the vim plugin? If not, how did you adapt?

Does dark themes lets your focus more than light themes?

In a way, yes. For me, using light-themed software for a prolonged period causes my eyes to strain and my head to ache. Sure, they do so to a very little extent, but the uncomfort is often distracting if not tempting me to slack off. So for me, yes, dark themes help me get in the zone much easier. But of course that has very little to do of the colors scheme itself.

I also get a somewhat soothing and focusing effect when using a dark theme, especially in a room with dim lights.

But what absolutely destroys the experience for me is when I have to look something up on the internet and end up on a page that doesn't honor the browser's dark mode. The switch between bright and dark is extremely jarring.

Solarized has broad support as well.
