Dracula Theme – A dark theme for many different apps
- TheSwordsman 5y agoCool idea of making it available across so many different applications, but I wish it was aesthetically pleasing. It just doesn't do it for me...
- anotheryou 5y agoI'm also more in to a warm palette sadly.
- cranium 5y agoNord 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 https://www.nordtheme.com/ports
- TheSwordsman 5y agoHadn't seen this one before. The darker Nord themes are definitely more of my style. Thanks for calling it out!
- totetsu 5y agoMaybe its out of fashion by now but solarized light/dark theme also has many ports. https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/ https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/
- mthwsjc_ 5y agoso cold!
- AndyJames 5y agoFor me it's the Rails Cast Theme especially version for Sublime Text that is ideal. I wish it would be much widely available https://github.com/jayzelenkov/sublime-railscasts-extended https://github.com/jayzelenkov/sublime-railscasts-extended
- account42 5y agoI clicked on one of the applications and that changed the URL but does not leave the previous URL in the back history. Letting JS control the history state was a mistake.
- unkulunkulu 5y agoJust wow! I don’t quite remember the last time I was this happy after changing something in my config. Thank you so much, my bite taking just got to whole new level of enjoyment :) bite taking -> note taking sry :)
- unkulunkulu 5y agoI wonder if they have some machinery developed that can be reused to port other themes to all the apps?
- zenorocha 5y agounfortunately not, every Dracula theme is custom made
- ampersandy 5y agoYou may like Tomorrow, which has several sub-themes and is available for dozens of apps. I use Tomorrow Night Bright for everything. https://github.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme https://github.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme
- TheSwordsman 5y agoThat definitely does feel a bit better to me. I'll need to check it out in a language I've been writing more recently. Thanks!
- moffkalast 5y agoThey want you to buy the PRO version which leverages the availability but makes it actually look decent. It's meant only as a demo so you can check compatibility I guess.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoAnd that's a good thing that you don't like it! Lots of us do and that's a good thing too! The world would be a rather boring place if one person got to tell the rest what is aesthetically pleasing.
- mihcsab 5y agohttps://github.com/chriskempson/base16 https://github.com/chriskempson/base16 has a lot of schemes for quite a few apps. There are guides to how to port the colors to other apps.
- kello 5y agoI like this a lot _except_ for the usage of green. IS there a theme like this but without the heavy reliance on green? IDK what it is but green is just off-putting for me.
- mapehe 5y agoI'm a simple man: I see Dracula mentioned, I upvote.

- yokoprime 5y agoHey, if they do another run the lead time is only 2 years
- chasely 5y agoBasically all these runs are "limited edition" and are pre-sold. But you can find a lot of people reselling on some markets. I used the one on reddit [0] until keyboards stop being a "hobby" for me. [0] https://old.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/ https://old.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/

- cognomano 5y agoDon’t confuse with Darcula.
- codetrotter 5y agoThe JetBrains IDE theme? :) I use that theme in CLion and the other JetBrains products.
- matsemann 5y agoWhat's the difference between this and the Darcula theme included in Jetbrains products?
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- StevePerkins 5y agoDarcula is dark. Dracula is purple.
- pm90 5y agoI think I might be neurodivergent, having a similar look and feel across code editors and terminals always pleases me greatly for some reason. That’s definitely one reason I like Dracula; it’s so easy to get it across everything I use. Been using it for over a year; IMO it’s a pretty readable theme that’s easy on the eyes.
- bserge 5y agoNo, you're actually basic as fuck.
- taeric 5y agoOddly, I prefer a random scheme on each start of emacs. I have yet to not weird out folks on that. Edit: I feel these are just two extremes with most folks not caring at all.
- bbarn 5y agoWorking mostly in VMs, I use backgrounds and colors to visually remind myself what window I'm looking at.
- shmerl 5y agoI like Gotham theme more.
- wintrli8 5y agoI envy those who can use dark colour schemes. It hurts my eyes for some reason.
- beardyw 5y agoWhy envy? I just dislike them. Dark theme only just sends me elsewhere.
- themodelplumber 5y agoI switch between a variety of middle-value color schemes. Like QB64 but with less saturated color overall and a bit less contrast, plus some red, green, and gold or orange hue backgrounds thrown in for variety. The dark themes or the light ones never work that well for me. I've started creating my own (only for Geany so far) because there just aren't many like that.
- pjerem 5y agoSome reason = probably strong myopia or astigmatism. I have those issues and with dark themes (or just in the night when I’m tired) my eye’s lens tend to open so widely that my vision becomes blurred because the focus point of my eyes is now behind my glasses. If you support contact lenses, it’s an issue they can effectively fix because the focus point can never be behind your correction lens.
- pletnes 5y agoInteresting point. I experience the same, and realized that my glasses are getting old - probably need new ones. Maybe parent doesn’t even have glasses? For this reason I prefer not-pitch-black dark themes. E.g monokai is a bit brighter background and is thus more comfy.
- zo1 5y agoCan confirm the potential astigmatism reason, which I have, and also struggle with dark themes. For some odd reason, maybe there is an expert here, crisp light shapes on a dark background make it either super obvious to a person that the shapes are malformed or it forces their eyes to strain more to compensate.
- guerrilla 5y agoThis is cute. I know someone who'll love this. I hope people do more of these bundles though, as this particular one isn't for me.
- vatys 5y agoI prefer the reverse: Alucard theme for Terminal https://github.com/lysyi3m/macos-terminal-themes https://github.com/lysyi3m/macos-terminal-themes
- benatkin 5y agoI would prefer Alucrad.
- slmjkdbtl 5y agoI like how they just use random icons for each app on the page
- zenorocha 5y agothat's also one of my favorite parts ;)
- m8s 5y agoI 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, Obsidian) or blasts from the past (I hadn't thought about BBEdit in a long time! And does anyone remember Brackets?), it's kind of a cool spot to find and remember things. Good work and thank you to everyone who has worked on these themes, I use them every day for a lot of apps :)
- derefr 5y ago> But there's an interesting side effect of having a theme repository with over 200 applications: app discovery! Similarly, oh-my-zsh's plugins are a great place to find out about "the most popular CLI tool you've never heard of."
- mimsee 5y agoMan Brackets brings me back. When I was 16-17 I forked a popular HTML skeleton extension but with the difference that I wanted it to have Bootstrap markup ready. This was with zero javascript experience (the extensions themselves used JS). It wasn't until later that I realised it had many thousands of downloads. As of right now 120k. Sadly I've deleted the Github repo, but amazingly Brackets still had a copy of the plugin in their S3 bucket.
- inbx0 5y agoThe live reloading side panel for web development in Brackets was ahead of its time.
- mr-karan 5y agoBrackets 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!
- bastardoperator 5y ago
- yur3i__ 5y agoIf 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 https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes
- ljm 5y agoI hugely appreciate they're designed with accessibility in mind, and that they also try to cover edge-cases introduced by popular packages. I've been using the dark one for a while and while it's not quite as aesthetically pleasing as themes like Dracula, Nord and Solarized, it more than makes up for it with legibility and clarity.
- yur3i__ 5y agoI'm a fan of the aesthetics to be honest, white on black or black on white is far more preferable to me than the colourful primary colours of other themes, especially solarized
- globular-toast 5y agoEver 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!
- PureParadigm 5y agoI use Dracula color scheme along with the Cascadia Code font [1]. I've been using this set up in both VSCode for Rust and Java in IntelliJ. I find this combination to be extremely readable. Dracula uses many very different colors which make different parts of code obvious. Cascadia has unique shapes for many of the characters which makes distinguishing them a breeze. Would definitely recommend giving this combo a shot! [1] https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code
- fbnlsr 5y agoIt took me years to switch from Ubuntu Mono[1] to IBM Plex Mono[2] but now I feel like I'm never gonna change fonts again. I gave Cascadia a try but it feels way too bold. On paper it looks like a really cool project but after I've installed it it felt like all my code was shouting at me (I mean even more than usual), it was disturbing. [1] https://design.ubuntu.com/font/ https://design.ubuntu.com/font/ [2] https://www.ibm.com/plex/ https://www.ibm.com/plex/
- jug 5y agoYes, Cascadia is a bit quirky but pretty nice. Currently I’m on JetBrains Mono which I find works great for me in terms of legibility. I love the slightly increased letter height and use it at 11 pt on a 27” display in Visual Studio. It reminds me a bit of IBM Plex Mono but I like it more. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/ https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/
- nxpnsv 5y agoI'm a fan. It's a good name, a decent theme, and there just is something comforting in having things look the same across applications...
- codethief 5y ago> there just is something comforting in having things look the same across applications... Speaking of which, I remember coming across a tool on Github(?) that allowed generating color themes for multiple applications and editors at once from a single set of colors (maybe even directly from the dominant colors of an image, like gvcci[0]). Does anyone happen to know that project? [0]: https://github.com/FabriceCastel/gvcci https://github.com/FabriceCastel/gvcci
- NetOpWibby 5y agoI’ve enjoyed Dracula for years but I also enjoy light themes. I’m currently using Ayu Light in Sublime with BB Manual Mono Pro TX.
- lngnmn2 5y agoNord is vastly superior.
- TacticalCoder 5y agoYup. I use Nord too, since years now. Both Dracula and Nord have something in common: they're using a very light dark background, which makes for dark themes very easy on the eyes. Dracula is RGB (40,41,55) while Nord is even lighter (45,51,65).
- krono 5y agoEventually everyone will circle back to Gruvbox, that's just how it is supposed to be :)
- causi 5y agoDang. I'd love this if they swapped the magenta for something like navy blue.
- benatkin 5y agoIt seems like a grift to me. SEO the name of a popular theme (Darcula) and sell a Pro version. Edit: my gripe is really with Google and Bing, which will show a lot of results for Dracula in the results for darcula theme when there are plenty of results for Darcula. This happens a lot with other terms as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- bcook 5y ago"Darcula" actually seems like a better name.
- epse 5y agoIsn't that the JetBrains default dark scheme?
- PawBer 5y agoThe Pro version actually happened much later after the theme was created. Google probably chooses Dracula because it's the more popular choice.
- benatkin 5y agoIndeed. There's also a nice origin story of the original Dracula theme. https://draculatheme.com/about https://draculatheme.com/about
- tlamponi 5y agoI used solarized for a long time, but then I got PaperColor [0] recommended by a colleague recently, and after trying it for a bit I liked it so much that I switched to that exclusively. It was originally made for vim, but there are ports to other tools[1].

- 2pEXgD0fZ5cF 5y agoThis one looks really great!
- OJFord 5y agoI use solarised, I like that light variant of papercolour more I think, but IMO the thing so broadly missed that solarised gets right is the dark variant's background - it's not too dark, not so much darker than the text that it looks like some sort of high contrast mode. I use it year round with the exception of very bright/direct sunlight in summer, when it's harder to see so I switch to the light variant.
- __alexs 5y agoFun fact: The dark variant of Solarized was chosen as it reminded the designer of drowning.
- Barrin92 5y agovery apt because that does accurately describe my feelings when looking at my code
- TheChaplain 5y agoUsed it for a while then progressed to Gruvbox which I find to be easier on the eyes.
- cbzbc 5y agoAre most people working with these themes in fairly low lit environments with a backlight? Because I assumed that current research indicated that in normal light darker text on a light background was actually less tiring for the eyes.
- ivanhoe 5y agoNo, they're just in their 20 somethings, so looking cool outweighs "will an old dude be able to read it" argument. When younger I also loved nothing more than sitting in the dark room and staring at green letters on the black console screen. However now, being an old dude myself, not driving myself blind has become an actual concern...
- function_seven 5y agoI'm 42. I still hate staring at a lightbulb, and have dark mode on all the time. And my vision ain't what it used to be. Pure white on a pure black background is horrible, but off-whites on a darker background looks nice and doesn't strain my eyes like a canvas of white does.
- cbzbc 5y agoYes, I don’t use pure white, but the lighter solarized themese seem to work reasonably well.
- function_seven 5y agoSorry, didn't mean to strawman your setup :) Yeah, when I do use light themes, I mute them similarly. And I have the brightness on my screens turned down a bit, and the blue channel trimmed down a smidge. All the lights in my house are at 2200K, so I definitely have a preference towards warmer light. My theory is that it's like cilantro (some people think it tastes like soap) or like pineapple on pizza (which is objectively wrong, about this there can be no debate). I just can't stand bright light. I'm sure a sizeable chunk of dark theme users do just like to pretend they're administering The Matrix or something. But not all of us :)
- phab 5y agoI found the auto-retyping-animation product description on the site very misleading. As I scanned the page I read "Dark theme for Vim", and was immediately confused. Only when I returned to the top of the page did I notice that there was some silly animation which "retyped" Vim for a variety of other editors. Why not just accurately say what it is?
- krono 5y agoWhat is it, then, if not a dark theme for Vim as wel as a bunch of other editors?
- phab 5y agoYou're right, it's Vim + a bunch of other editors, but when you scan the page that's not what you read - it scans as "Dark theme for vim", not "Dark theme for vim and a bunch of other editors"
- epse 5y agoMaybe a smaller line under it akin to "and 227 others" would make that clearer
- olalonde 5y agoI'm impressed that Dracula Pro generated over $189,389.50. It's cool that they managed to make money from their color scheme.
- inDigiNeous 5y agoHave a good enough price, and you don't have to sell hundred thousand copies to make some profit. Yeah it's pretty cool that somebody could market a color scheme.
- BlueGh0st 5y agoEven more impressive is this note that I got while browsing from a developing country. >Hey! You're coming from [Country] 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 [code] for an extra 63% off the regular price.
- cbovis 5y agoI got this as well but the discount was 59% rather than 63%. Would be interesting to know how they're determining that discount value. I was viewing from Colombia.
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- marban 5y agoI prefer something more toned down -> https://www.nordtheme.com/ports https://www.nordtheme.com/ports
- inDigiNeous 5y agoI 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 that, I bet that program could become very popular among developers.
- benatkin 5y agoDracula looks pretty good, Dracula Pro looks much better because they did a lot of research for the colors (but it is expensive), and Dracula UI looks fantastic.
- Hard_Space 5y agoIn their defense, browsing from Bucharest, the Pro page shows me this: > Hey! You're coming from Romania 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 ROPRO for an extra 52% off the regular price.
- Veen 5y agoNow that you've posted it here, I predict the Dracula folks will see an enormous increase in the use of the ROPRO code by "Romanian" developers living all around the world.
- Hard_Space 5y agoWell, I'm guessing they'll need to keep a Romania IP active in a VPN when they're paying, and I got my card locked a couple of times doing that kind of thing.
- jdsampayo 5y agoThey have multiple countries, Mexico discount is 53% and I took it. I guess if someone wants to take advantage of this will seek the highest discount country, wonder which one is.
- 1337shadow 5y agoNice! But why do they always make code comments in a color that's so discret it's barely readable?
- zenorocha 5y agoThe idea is to keep you focused on the code logic itself. Comments are definitely important but they don't dictate behavior, that's why they are intentionally unobtrusive.
- xunn0026 5y agoThere's no way Dracula is not copyrighted. What next, StarWars theme?
- zenorocha 5y agoI actually registered a trademark for Dracula. https://twitter.com/zenorocha/status/1407342343963951105 https://twitter.com/zenorocha/status/1407342343963951105
- xunn0026 5y agoOMG. This is even worse. Since there was no trademark for your sector on the super-popular title Dracula you jumped right in and trademarked it for your use?? So the future of expiring trademarks and copyrights is people rushing in to re-register a trademark under their name? What a bleak thing.
- djoldman 5y agohttps://www.gutenberg.org/files/345/345-h/345-h.htm https://www.gutenberg.org/files/345/345-h/345-h.htm
- Eelongate 5y ago1897... copyright holders have really done a number on you.
- xunn0026 5y agoI could have sworn there was a very popular movie by that name released within the copyright window. Yep: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103874/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103874/ But, sure, I guess Dracula is wide open for re-registration in a whole bunch of sectors.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoIt’s a nice theme. I can’t really see myself buying a theme for Xcode, though. I can easily afford it, but I don’t really need it. If I did need it, then I’d definitely get it. It may seem like a “trivial” thing, but I spend a significant part of my life, staring at code in a text editor. It’s worth taking seriously. I run dark on my Mac, but use Xcode with a modified default light theme (off-white page background, with high-contrast monospace sans-serif text). Same with BBEdit (my general-purpose text editor). I use a translucent dark for Terminal, though. I don’t spend much time in CLI. For whatever reason, it allows me my greatest productivity. I don’t really care why. I’m constantly coding, so it’s important for me to be comfortable. I’ve tried dark page backgrounds, a few times, and never became comfortable with them. I’m not particularly interested in impressing anyone, or being perceived as “cool.” That ship has sailed. I am definitely “uncool.” But I get a lot of stuff done, fairly well, and quite quickly.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI don't think I've ever seen anyone hanging out by the server racks trying to push dark themes on me :) . I don't think I've seen anyone say "how could you possible go with -that- theme." Have you had experiences like that?
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoAbsolutely. It's quite common, for me (less so, the last couple of years, as my FtF interactions have drastically reduced). People like to ensure that I'm aware I'm "behind the times." I'm even occasionally referred to as a "boomer." I don't think I'm up on the lingo the kids use, these days, but something tells me that it doesn't have anything to do with submarines. I've basically stopped going to things like meetups, because of that behavior. I won't go where I'm not wanted. Same reason I stopped looking for work. To be fair, I'm pretty sure that older eyes have a lot to do with my preference for lighter backgrounds. I'll just leave it at that ...
- rhdxmr 5y agoIt is novel to me to collect apps in terms of theme.
- moth-fuzz 5y agoDracula 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 opinionated, fewer colors with greater emphasis. At the end of the day most themes nowadays are just different shades of all rainbow text over your choice of a light or dark background. Dark or light... It reminds me of that theory about how early humans, before having words for different colors, only had light and dark to describe things. Does anyone have any recommendations for opinionated color schemes with limited palettes with emphasis on particular colors instead of just dark/light? 0. https://github.com/AlessandroYorba/Alduin https://github.com/AlessandroYorba/Alduin
- inDigiNeous 5y agoWould recommend checking out Github color themes for VSCode if you use that: https://github.com/primer/github-vscode-theme 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.
- ReleaseCandidat 5y agoThe ones I use are Emacs-Zenburn (other colors than 'usual' Zenburn) https://github.com/bbatsov/zenburn-emacs https://github.com/bbatsov/zenburn-emacs and Groovy Lambda for Code, similar to Gruvbox (because it supports more syntax elements) https://github.com/sheaf/groovy-lambda https://github.com/sheaf/groovy-lambda

- Nales 5y agoI use (Neo)Vim on a terminal with the option "colorscheme" set on "default". When I tried Dracula and set up my terminal color scheme with it, it made diffs on Vim unreadable (sometimes background color was the same as the foreground color). I have never seen anywhere any mention of this issue. Did someone also have this problem here?

- gizdan 5y agoI wish there was a good theme out there that has support for lots of different apps, and has a light and dark theme. Dark themes are great when you're working in the dark, but during the day, when the sun is at its highest, and your brightness is maxed, Dark themes just don't work.

- DigitalSea 5y agoGreat idea to have a cross-app theme, but Monokai Pro is hard to beat for me. I love that theme and I wish I could use it for other things too.
- HDevo 5y agoJust wanted to say +1 for Monokai Pro. It's very different from regular Monokai and I wish it was available for more apps.
- deelly 5y agoOff-topic: As a person with astigmatism I just don't like black themes..
- qwerty456127 5y agoIs there a theme like this (i.e. supporting so many or just slightly less apps) but light? For those who work near open windows during sunny days (so dark themes become unreadable) or just prefer uniformity and are this way limited to light themes because some apps they need don't support dark?
- gurraman 5y agoDracula is a very well-crafted theme, but I can't help feeling like it makes my editor feel like a toy. I've gone a lot of different themes, but the only (dark) one that has worked out for me is everforest [1], with the following modifications: vim.cmd [[hi Normal guibg=#111111]] vim.cmd [[hi EndOfBuffer guibg=#111111]] vim.cmd [[hi StatusLine guifg=#ccdc90]] vim.cmd [[hi link TSLiteral TSString]] vim.cmd [[hi TSField guifg=#c4b89b]] vim.cmd [[hi TSTag gui=italic]] vim.cmd [[hi TSTagDelimiter guifg=#859289]] vim.cmd [[hi TSInclude guifg=#d699b6]] vim.cmd [[hi link TSInclude Purple]] vim.cmd [[hi link mkdWikiLink TSURI]] vim.cmd [[hi link mkdWikiLinkStart Blue]] vim.cmd [[hi link mkdWikiLinkEnd Blue]] Notable themes I've kinda liked (but had some problems with for various reasons): moonfly and zenburn [1] https://github.com/sainnhe/everforest https://github.com/sainnhe/everforest
- k__ 5y agoSomehow all themes follow a kinda similar approach. I always wondered how a different approach would change the way we write code. Like, deemphasizin clutter code like braces, and emphasizing information like comments.
- jollybean 5y agoThe default dark theme of MS VS Code is sublime (pun intended) and is one of the greater design artifacts of MSFT. There are almost zero 3rd party themes, paid or not, that are thoughtfully designed. It takes an odd combination of understanding the language a bit, understanding the utility of colour and contrast, and then also aesthetics - and then a lot of energy devoted to tweaking it just perfectly.
- staticelf 5y agoI like the dracula theme but I unfortunately have to advice people to not purchase the early access on the dracula ui. I bought early access pretty much when it was announced because I thought it looked nice and would fit to a product I was building at the moment. The thing is that the development of the ui seems to have died pretty much and there hasn't been any updates for months. It requires you to use npm to use the ui and if you don't use React (which I don't) you may only use it by using the classes directly. I had higher hopes for the ui and that the development would have been more active since they charge you a pretty large fee for it.
- wheelerof4te 5y agoI tried it, but after some time I figured out that VS Code's default theme is much better for my eyes.

I love you <3
- zenorocha 5y agoGlad you liked it! I come from a developing country (Brazil) and always had a hard time buying stuff from other countries. Adding Purchasing Parity Power was a matter of principle to me.
- crawl_soever 5y agoI 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.
- zenorocha 5y agoHey everyone, Dracula creator here! Feel free to ask me anything, I'll try to respond every single comment.
- IE6 5y agoWhat do you think of the Dracula keycaps?
- who-shot-jr 5y agoWhat is your favourite colour?
- nisegami 5y agoCould 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.
- petepete 5y agoNot 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.
- inDigiNeous 5y agoPersonally, what has been your biggest challenge with this project ? How did you overcome it, or how do you keep overcoming it ? Thanks for sharing.
- 8589934591 5y agoFor emacs I use doom-one-light https://github.com/hlissner/emacs-doom-themes/tree/screenshots#doom-one-light https://github.com/hlissner/emacs-doom-themes/tree/screensho... I wish there were light themes which are consistent across apps. The only ones I've usually found consistent are Atom One Light. I usually stick to light themes because it is more comfortable on the eyes, provided your environment is also well lit. I find this easier to do than staying with dark environments and stepping away from the PC to be blinded by light. This and lower brightness helps. Adding to the above, light themes are usually the default provided by most apps (except discord in my experience) which makes it easier for me to get up and running with any app / system rather than trying to get a dark mode theme to work for the app (if they provide one). I honestly want to spend my time better than going down that rabbit hole of "the ideal dark system". On top of that there's the question of whether the theme is maintained consistently and whether it is supported or abandoned.
- flareback 5y agoLight mode? you monster! /sarcasm As far as light mode themes go that ones pretty good
- bighoss97 5y agoI think a big factor with color themes is actually the monitor settings. I have my monitor tuned for dark mode everywhere. If I put a light theme on, the contrast doesn't look right and I go back to dark themes. Maybe it's a result of my fine-tuning, but the default "Visual Studio Dark" theme in VS Code is my favorite. It's a great minimalist theme. And I've even tried a lot of the minimalist themes suggested in this thread.
- xixixao 5y agoI didn’t think it would work but I’ve grown fond of switching between light and dark os theme based on the time of day, and having all apps auto-adjust. If you haven’t yet give it a try.
- platz 5y agothis is worth it just to see the screenshots of the apps for it's own purposes
- soitgoes511 5y agoBeautiful theme. Any plans for CMUS?
- throwaway745686 5y agoRandom thought, ever think about using something like greasemonkey to add themes to websites? It would probably be difficult, but something like adding a dracula theme to google, lichess, hacker news, etc would be awesome.
- sheepybloke 5y agoWhat other themes are there like this? I know of Nord, but it would be interesting to see what other themes there are that are as comprehensive as Nord and Dracula.
- tnova 5y agoThe One Dark (Atom's default dark theme) and Solarized come to mind as widely used themes although I'm not sure they have as much of a branding as the two you named.
- tomc1985 5y agoNot to be confused with Darcula I take it?
- jcun4128 5y agoUsed to use it now use monokai pro spectrum
- GekkePrutser 5y agoNot a big fan of purple myself, I love warm colours. But it looks like a well balanced theme.
- signa11 5y agoas themes go, fwiw, within emacs & xterm, i am hooked to zenburn. from time to time, i keep trying other themes, and then go back to zenburn eventually.
- Ali_Boukeroui 5y agoWow That's amazing!

- neop1x 5y agoI like it but low contrast make it unusable for me. For example comment color is almost the same color as the background, hard to read for me. I use default VS Code theme with background changed to pure black and some other colors made brighter.
- globular-toast 5y agoInstead 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.
