Dracula is a color scheme for code editors and terminal emulators created by Zeno Rocha. The scheme is exclusively available in dark mode. Packages that implement the color scheme have been published for many major applications, such as Visual Studio Code (1,126,410 installs)[1], Sublime Text (106,841 installs)[2], Atom (191,024 installs)[3], JetBrains IDEs (130,013 installs)[4], and 93 other applications.[5]
History[edit]
Zeno Rocha began working on Dracula in 2013 after having his computer stolen at a hospital in Spain.[6] Upon installing a new code editor and terminal emulator, he could not find a color scheme that he liked, so he decided to create his own. He always believe in the cost of context switching, therefore his goal was to create a uniform and consistent experience across all his applications.[7] In October 27th, 2013, he published the first Dracula theme for ZSH on GitHub.[8]
In February 11th, 2020, he launched a premium version called Dracula PRO.[9]

Reception[edit]
Over the years, Dracula became popular among software developers. Joey Sneddon of OMG! UBUNTU! recommended Dracula, writing: "What’s particularly nice is that all of the Dracula themes/skins/syntax highlighting are open source, meaning if they break you can easily contact the developer to let them know, or contribute the fix yourself."[11] Writing for SpeckyBoy Magazine, Eric Karkovack reported that "Dracula is a dark theme that presents some great color contrast. Using a dark background actually saves energy as well, so you can be an environmentally conscious vampire."[12]
