  precision colorscheme for the vim text editor

  Hey there,

  Love the philosophy behind the theme.

  How hard do you think it'd be to automate theme previewing & distribution? What would the challenges be? Why is this problem not solved yet?

  I'm no designer, but in my understanding a theme is a set of colors that's the result of a research on contrasts and aesthetics (I love how pedagogic Ethan is on its Solarized website: https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized )

  By theme distribution, I mean making the theme available for a set of platforms and applications, as it is the case for Dracula, to tackle to problem of context-switching as you neatly describe it. Wouldn't it be theorically possible for a tool to generate themes for all the apps / platforms based on a standard theme description? (Imagine the theme-generator descriptor slowly becoming an actual standard adopted by apps & websites...)

  By theme previewing, I mean generating (svg-based or sth?) previews of what every target app / platform looks like with that theme, to make testing easier for designers. It must be expensive to test so many themes, so previewing would be key for this tool. The accuracy of previews might be somehow tested by the test suite by screenshoting the themes in VMs.

  Congrats on the nice work!

  This is a fun, new monospaced font that includes programming ligatures and is designed to enhance the modern look and feel of the Windows Terminal.

  

  I use Dracula color scheme along with the Cascadia Code font [1]. I've been using this set up in both VSCode for Rust and IntelliJ in Java. 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!

  :art: Light & Dark Vim color schemes inspired by Google's Material Design

  I 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  It was originally made for vim, but there are ports to other tools[1].

  0 392 3.8 Vim Script

  A Vim Colorscheme

  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 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?

  For me it's the Rails Cast Theme especially version for Sublime Text that is ideal. I wish it would be much widely available

  🎨 themer takes a set of colors and generates themes for your apps (editors, terminals, wallpapers, and more).

  

  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.

  I used to love this theme (you can even see it in my old screenshots https://github.com/talha-akram/anvil) but over time I started to prefer lower contrast themes now the same neon colors are jarring to me.

  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?

  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.
