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. (Narrator: They colonized ma…

I came across the themer.dev the other day. It's comes close to this, but I struggled to get a theme to be consistent across apps. There are still some apps it doesn't support.

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.

I used dracula for a while, but I just can't deal with it during the day. So I've been looking for a uniform light theme for day time coding. I hope nord theme can fill in the gaps there, but it looks like it's still early days for it.

Last time I fiddled with it, it was hard to find good vim theme. By good I mean the one that: does not tires eyes, does not have hard to see colors when light conditions and not perfect.

When the words are invisible during day, then I can't use such theme.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

I might've misunderstood the question but Dracula has per-app configs available:

They're all separate projects on GitHub so you can usually just use them with your regular plugin manager or even a git submodule.

Just tried Nord but to me it seems Gruvbox is more distinct with the keywords? At least I feel it easier to differentiate between different elements in code.

Yeah Nord is definitely lower contrast than most, you do get used to it though. Reminds me a bit of a blueish Zenburn.

I tried very hard to find a satisfying light-themed color scheme for Vim, but I have not had much success so far. Most of them have a grey or white base that I don't care about; I wanted something more pastel or warmer and found solarized to be a bit too intense. I wrote and now use my own colorscheme [0] but I think there is much room for improvement.

I think I have seen it before, but I am not sure. It has a similar base to mine, so if I have seen it, I have definitely tried to use it. The question is whether it has good colors for latex objects. I'll check it out if I get the time.
