I have a hard time seeing why this is such a popular theme.. maybe it's just because it is available for so many different editors. On the other hand, would be cool to have an application / database that could convert any theme to another editor. Although that would take a lot of work to figure out the compatibilities, if somebody would do that well enough so that other people can configure input output configs for t…

If someone could build a tool that somehow allowed you to set generic tokens like "heading text color", "body text color"... etc, while potentially including contrast warnings in case you mess up And then automatically generate the theme files for all these apps - now that would be simply amazing! --- At least for me, since I maintain my own personal VSCode/IntelliJ theme

It doesn't support nearly as many programs as dracula theme does but I'd recommend giving https://themer.dev/ a try. Supports all the popular terminals, IDEs and then some.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Maybe its out of fashion by now but solarized light/dark theme also has many ports. https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/

Wow, can’t believe Solarized is already old enough to potentially be out of fashion…

But I agree it’s much more aesthetically pleasing over Dracula.

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…

Do what I do:

Black text on white background (or the reverse, if you’re a philistine.)

Select a color for comments.

Select a color for strings.

Done.

Anything more, and the display looks like someone threw a bag of Skittles at the screen.

I clicked Dracula Pro, this appeared at the top of the page:

> Hey! You're coming from Turkey where this could be too expensive.

> I believe in Purchasing Parity Power, and I want to make this affordable.

> If you need it, use the code TRPRO for an extra 64% off the regular price.

I love you <3

I love this theme and its community. I use dracula color schemes pretty much only at night though. I wrote some tooling to hook into gammastep for seamless transition between dracula and a lighter theme across my tools depending on time of day. I work a lot in the sun and dracula can be very hard to see in direct sunlight.
