base16-universal-manager VS dracula-theme

I just found Nightfox and switched over to it. I liked it so much I contributed a base16 template and use it with base16-shell.

Nice thanks a lot! I'm currently using https://github.com/pinpox/base16-universal-manager which your link says was an inspiration. I'll give flavours a shot.

I agree, my first impression was confusion over why they are making such a big deal out of a simple color palette.

I could be wrong, but it looks like they modified a website template which was originally meant for advertising a service or product, which could explain why it feels a bit strange and overwrought.

Also, I feel like [Base16](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16) is a better approach to the problem, by providing a framework rather than a single palette.

Regarding Discord, considering that everybody and their grandmother has a discord these days, I suppose having one for a color theme is not so surprising. There used to be IRC channels for everything, after all. It's a shame that Discord has gained so much traction, being a proprietary walled garden. That's a topic for another day, though.

I use Base16 to apply Dracula across my terminal applications.

I also got similar issues with pinpox/base16-universal-manager: base16-universal-manager returns ``` No templates in list, pulling new one... panic: HTTP code 404

I think what the creator is doing is outsourcing the maintenance of each individual app to a maintainer that cares; the themes folder contains pointers to other repos:

https://github.com/dracula/dracula-theme/tree/master/themes

I think that is a good idea.

This could be used to "reverse-engineer a generic platform" relatively easily:

    1: Fork Dracula and its themes

It’s a custom theme loosely based on the Dracula colour palette.

The really neat part is how this easily extends to existing themes like Dracula and Solarized. For existing themes we convert, we will choose an accent color from the core 16 colors that we feel match the best. If you want to change it, no sweat, you can customize the accent color to any of the 16 theme colors or any custom color you like to add your personal preference to existing themes.

I use the Dracula color palette

Are you referring to dracula or dracula pro? If the former, its free and opensource https://github.com/dracula/dracula-theme

The Dracula UI theme was created by Zeno Rocha as an opensource project when he was sick in hospital in 2013. It became a popular theme over the years. In late 2019, he decided to try to find a way to monetize the project when he saw how high the traffic to the draculatheme website was.

Theme (gtk, terminal, etc): Dracula
