Recently, I've customized all my favorite apps with Dracula theme. As the Dracula team does a great job, I quickly found themes for the following apps:
- VSCode
- Intellij
- Vim
There are also many Dracula themes for Firefox. I choose Klorax' one.
Then, I wanted to go further and have the same journey in my terminal emulator. Fortunately, the deepin-terminal comes with a lot of bundled themes, including Dracula.
But as a Tmux user, I was a bit frustrated as the status line I used had nothing to do with Dracula. And there was no Dracula theme for Tmux. So I created one:

/
tmux-dracula
🔥 Awesome .tmux.conf configuration file with Dracula theme 🧛♂️ and task support.
tmux-dracula
Self-contained, pretty and versatile .tmux.conf configuration file with Dracula theme and task support.
Installation
Requirements:
- tmux
>= 2.1running inside Linux, Mac, OpenBSD, Cygwin or WSL (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows) - taskwarrior
- outside of tmux,
$TERMmust be set toxterm-256color
To install, run the following from your terminal: (you may want to backup your
existing ~/.tmux.conf first)
$ cd
$ git clone git@github.com:mamyn0va/tmux-dracula.git .tmux
$ ln -s -f .tmux/.tmux.conf
$ cp .tmux/.tmux.conf.local
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
Then reload your tmux conf:
$ tmux source ~/.tmux.conf
Then install the required plugins by pressing prefix + I (capital i, as in Install) to fetch the plugins using tpm.
Finally proceed to customize your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy.
If you're a Vim user, setting the $EDITOR environment variable to vim will
enable and further customize the vi-style key bindings (see tmux manual).
If you're new to tmux, I recommend…
In fact, I just forked the awesome Tmux conf from gpakosz and I changed the colors according to the color palette of Dracula.
Et voilà!
The shell in the screenshot is fish with SpaceFish prompt.
If you're looking to have the same look and feel when listing your folders (
ls,llorlla), I created a Dracula theme for colorls which is a drop-in replacement forlsunix command.
And you're done!

This theme has always been a nice one for me, but I gotta stick with Atom's One Dark, man... I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It reached a point that the first thing I ever did when I installed VS Code was install the One Dark theme.
Nonetheless, great job! It's a pretty dang clean theme if you'd ask me. 👌👌👌
I'm not sure to keep Dracula 🧛♂️ theme for a very long time but I like having a consistent developer journey. Hopefully dracula is very popular and thus have themes for many, many apps. That's why I choose it.
Right now I'm trying to customize my i3wm, with dracula theme but I have to do it from scratch. It's a lot of work.
Honestly, the theme is really good. I doubt it would fail to be "very popular" anyway. I think you can rest assured in that regard.
