Contribute

Dracula Theme is an open-source project driven by and for the community. Most of the themes for the 400+ supported applications are community contributions.

We want to support all available applications, but we don't have the capacity to do it all ourselves. That's why your contributions are essential.

How to submit a new theme

  1. Create a repository using this template.

    • Clone it or click "Use this template" on GitHub.
  2. Build your theme using the Color Palette above.

    • Follow the template structure and add your theme files.
  3. Submit an issue with a link to your repository.

    • Once accepted, we'll move it to the Dracula organization and give you maintainer access.

For detailed guidelines and specifications, visit our Contribute page.

FAQ

"Are you going to support editor X?"

We'd love to! Since you're already using that editor, you're probably more familiar with it than we are. Give it a try and submit your theme!

Accessibility W3C

Foreground and background colors maintain a 4.5:1 contrast ratio, complying with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Team

Dracula was created by Zeno Rocha and is maintained with the help of many contributors. Lucas de França joined as co-maintainer in April 2022. Each theme has its maintainer listed in its repository's README.

Searching Database…

What is this?Dracula is one of the most popular dark color themes, built around a single consistent palette that has been ported to Visual Studio Code, iTerm, Vim, Sublime Text, JetBrains IDEs, Terminal.app, Windows Terminal, Hyper, Alfred, Slack, Xcode, Emacs, Zsh and over 400 other apps.
Is this one theme file or a collection of separate themes?It is one shared color palette (Dracula, plus a light variant called Alucard) reimplemented separately for each supported app; every app has its own repository under the Dracula GitHub organization.
How do I install it for my editor or terminal?Go to draculatheme.com, search for your specific application, and follow the installation instructions listed there; each app's theme repo also documents its own package-manager or manual steps.
Is every app's theme equally complete?Coverage and quality vary by app because most of the 400+ themes are community contributions maintained by volunteers rather than the core team.
What is Alucard?Alucard is the light-mode counterpart to the Dracula palette, using the same color roles (background, foreground, comment, cyan, green, etc.) with light values instead of dark ones.
What is Dracula PRO?Dracula PRO is a separate premium color scheme and UI theme for programming, adding extra variants and features for terminals, editors and syntax highlighters beyond the free open-source theme.
How do I add Dracula support for an app that isn't covered yet?Create a repo from the official template, build the theme using the published color palette, then open an issue linking your repo; once accepted it's moved into the Dracula organization and you become its maintainer.
Is the theme accessible for low-vision users?Yes, the foreground and background colors are designed to keep a 4.5:1 contrast ratio, meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines.
