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.

With all respect, you forgot about keywords. Don’t you like it when classes, functions, ifs and fors do stand out?

But yeah, modern semantic coloring (args/members/vars/globals/upvalues/…) looks like a catastrophic oil spill.

Hey everyone, Dracula creator here! Feel free to ask me anything, I'll try to respond every single comment.

Could you explain how the "3 computer" works? For example, how would it interact with dual-booting Windows+Linux.

That aside, I really want to express my gratitude for your decision to consider Purchasing Power Parity. I do well by the standards of my country+age, but turning that salary into USD is incredibly difficult and that's necessary to buy anything more than the bare necessities like housing+food. So in my case, it makes a difference. I plan to purchase soon.

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,…

Brackets definitely brings back sweet memories. I started learning HTML/CSS a decade back on Sublime Text and found Brackets soon after and used it for a while!

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

I don't like them because all I can see is a reflection of my big ugly face staring back at me. Who needs to see THAT for eight hours a day?

Maybe a good reason to paint some makeup. As another commenter said itt, “Bro, nobody cares what color scheme you use, if you're confident about how you feel about it.”

Beautiful theme. Any plans for CMUS?

Don’t confuse with Darcula.

What's the difference between this and the Darcula theme included in Jetbrains products?

Darcula is dark.

Dracula is purple.

Not a question but I switched to Dracula a few months ago and love it. I don't theme many applications but having neovim, bat, fzf, tig, kitty, starship and tmux all have the same palette makes for a much better experience.

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…

base16 is a theme system available on many editors and apps

Similarly, oh-my-zsh's plugins are a great place to find out about "the most popular CLI tool you've never heard of."
