Just wanted to talk about Dracula theme
I just recently tried this theme out on Tildes and I love it! It's not too light and not to dark and the colors are great. Now I want it on everything! Any other stuff that has it?
There's a big list of implementations of it on the official site: https://draculatheme.com/
I've used it on a few of the things on that list. I was wondering if there were maybe some unofficial implementations I don't know about.
OMG, applied. I could kiss you right now! /noise comment ;)
Using it and loving it too. It would be interesting to see some statistics about how popular different themes are on active accounts.
I'm not keeping stats for which themes people are actively using (and it's stored in a cookie, not on Tildes's end, so I can't check easily), but for people that have set a theme as the default for their account:
Ah, this has reminded me to set my theme default to Atom One from Black. I've acclimatized and like the not-quite-black darks now.
Interesting to see, thanks! I wonder how these numbers would change when/if Tildes becomes less dominated by techies who are used to dark themed code editors.
probably not that much? people like dark themes if you offer them, whether as an option or as a toggleable night mode feature because they're just not as hard on the eyes in general as most default themes are.
Feature request: Gruvbox!
It's good to see that only 4% use white (:
Edit: ^Dumb joke^
Why is that good?
I get why individual users might prefer to use a dark theme (but I'm definitely not one of those).
I was just wondering why it's supposedly good that only a small number of users are using a white theme. Maybe I missed the fact that it was an attempt at a joke on @lumbo7332's part.
It was, heh. It's hard to convey tone in text. It was just a silly joke.
White's the default if you haven't set it, so it's hard to tell how many are actually using it. They'd probably only have set it as their account default if they previously set it to something else and then wanted to change back.
Could you compare the number of accounts to the number who have set a non-white default to calculate those using white?
I'm not sure what you mean, that sounds like what I'm doing. 96% of the accounts that have a default set, have it set to non-white. The issue is that I don't have a way to distinguish between "uses white theme" and "uses non-white theme, but hasn't set a default".
Ah gotcha, I'd misunderstood
Am I missing something? I don't see Solarized Light on that list.
Oh, sorry, "Light" is Solarized Light (since the site originally only had "Light" and "Dark", which were both Solarized). I'll edit it.
The dracula theme is one of the reasons I immediately fell in love with tildes' website design. I wish every website had it.
I've also been on the lookout for further implementations but it's sadly hard to find much.
Outside of the stuff in the official draculatheme website, I've used this duckduckgo dracula theme. And if you use Firefox you can install Firefox Color and use this dracula theme color palette (feel free to change the green accent color to any of the others in the official palette, like pink or orange), alhough I personally use Shadowfox since, sadly, Firefox doesn't allow you to change menu colors with add-ons.
Thanks for that DuckDuckGo one!
How did you get the DDG theme working. I followed the instructions but it's not doing anything.
Hmm, it might not be working anymore, but to save you some trouble I created and saved the theme under the pass phrase "draculatheme", so you can import it with that (open the duckduckgo menu > other settings > appearance > load settings).
All the values I used are in the github repo as well under config.js.
Hope that helps.
Thank you! That works.
