One of the most requested Dracula PRO themes is finally available! Emacs users, here it is! 😉
And last but not least, we now have support for BetterDiscord too!
This was one of the first times where we had beta testers helping us shape these PRO themes. Keep an eye on Discord in case you wanna help 💖
Our users have long requested Dracula PRO support for Visual Studio, and it is finally here with all variants and as close as possible to its VSCode counterpart.
✅ We also adjusted the Background and Selection Color in Notepad++, which were overlapping and not giving the necessary highlight.
🎯 We've also made a minor tweak to the Sublime Text instructions.
Earlier last week, we published an updated version of the pack with a complete overhaul of the theme for the Alacritty app.
🔪 Blade variant:
✅ We fixed and adjusted our theme and all variants to the most modern app standards.
✨ And we also updated the installation instructions.
As you know, Dracula PRO used to come with some videos. This made it difficult for folks to update their local themes, since the .zip package is quite large, and re-downloading it takes time. To help with that, I decided to remove the videos, which makes it 27% smaller now.
JetBrains just released a new version called 2022.1, so if you use IntelliJ, PyCharm, CLion, DataGrip, WebStorm, or RubyMine, it's time to update your Dracula PRO plugin.
JetBrains just released a new version called 2021.2, so if you use IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, CLion, DataGrip, or RubyMine, it's time to update your Dracula PRO plugin.
One of my goals with Dracula PRO is to be as transparent as possible. This includes opening revenue numbers and sharing what happened along the way (even when it's not good).
Yesterday I noticed that we just hit $151,328.16 in sales and I decided to write a Twitter thread with some lessons learned, along with an update to the Dracula PRO Journey page.
Thank you for making this journey possible, I hope these insights are helpful! 🙏
The last two weeks have been really busy. I decided to create this page to show Dracula PRO's journey from $0 to $100k and it blew up. Since then, 218 people bought Dracula PRO, which represents $13,599.35.
I'm not gonna pretend it was all good. To be quite frank, I wasn't expecting such a high volume of new users. This generated a flood of support emails and questions via DM. Taking care of all this alone has been very difficult, especially because I have a full-time job that consumes me a lot.
Still, I couldn't be more proud to see this community growing. 💜
I've always believed that tools and hard skills are only a part of what makes a productive developer. That's why I decided to write a book about habits and soft skills.
After months of planning and editing, the audiobook is now available on Audible. 🎉
I insisted on recording with my own voice, instead of some random guy who sounds like a robot. In total, there are 3 hours 21 minutes and 35 seconds of audio, which includes not only the content of the book but also extra comments that are made at the end of each chapter.
Dracula PRO users are getting all this for free. Enjoy! 😁
Dracula PRO is also getting a new theme - Insomnia is now available - including its 5 different variations: Blade, Buffy, Lincoln, Morbius, and Van Helsing.
If you don't know Insomnia, it's a cross-platform REST API client which is getting pretty popular.
Happy Halloween!
I just wanted to say THANKS to all of you.
There are now 1,588 Dracula PRO users, which is absolutely insane.
On the open source side our clan continues to grow too, just take a look at these crazy numbers...
Because of your support, I'm able to maintain this huge community and continue to build the most used theme for developers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💜
Last weekend I started playing around with some custom app icons. People seemed to like it, so I decided to take it to the next level.
Presenting the Dracula PRO Desktop Icons!
The 20 icons are available in 6 different flavors, just like the themes.
From Mosaic to Netscape to IE6.
We all love using browsers to navigate through this crazy world called the internet. We spend a lot of time on our code editors and terminals, but I bet we spend even more time on web browsers.
That's why having a Dracula PRO theme for the most popular browsers is not only cool; it's a must-have.
Starting with the most used browser in the world. Here are all six variations of Dracula PRO on Google Chrome.
Now let's talk about Mozilla's main project - Firefox. What I love about this theme are the accent colors present on the active tabs and buttons. It's a simple, gorgeous detail.
The #1 most requested Dracula PRO theme is finally available!
Vim users, Neovim users, MacVim users, here it is 😉
P.S.: This wouldn't be possible without the help of D. Ben Knoble and the initial work done by Derek Sifford. You guys are the best!
I updated the wallpaper sizes to support 4k and 5k monitors.
Besides providing the Dracula PRO colors in HEX, RGB, and HSL, I now added the ANSI 256 equivalent.
You can find them all inside design/PALETTE.md.
I'm super excited to announce the Dracula PRO Wallpapers!
They are programmatically generated with JavaScript, converted to SVGs, and then exported as PNGs to fit every platform and screen size.
We spend the entire day on our computers, so having a wallpaper that consistently matches the rest of your applications is key.
And here's how it looks on a watch. It's simply gorgeous.
I hope you like it and please: post screenshots of your new wallpapers so I can check them out (and your friends get jealous) 😄
Atom, a code editor built by GitHub, was one of the most requested themes. I'm glad to announce that it's now available for PRO users.
JetBrains has an Early Access Program (EAP) in which they provide a beta build of their IDEs. Starting today, Dracula PRO has support for those 2020.1 beta versions too.
I have some good news for Windows users.
Dracula PRO is now available for Notepad++ and Windows Terminal.
Besides that, I made some minor updates to the JetBrains IDEs themes.
Many people asked if the Dracula PRO package included the color codes for them to use in other apps.
Because of that, I decided to not only describe all colors in HEX, RGB, and HSL, but also add some design files for:
Thanks to the feedback provided by Dominik Kozlowski, the XCode theme received a major update.
All the color variations, font weights, and Console schemes have been improved. If you're a Swift or Objective-C developer, I'm sure you're going to like this.
I received some emails asking why the JetBrains IDEs themes were so different than the VSCode and Sublime themes.
Although all editors are different and it's not possible to have a 100% match, those feedbacks were completely right, so I decided to rethink the entire JetBrains theme. Here's the result:
Before:
After:
Not only the sidebar, file tree, tabs, and line numbers were updated. I also revisited the syntax highlighting for all languages.
Hey 👋 I just made an update for the JetBrains IDEs theme to support Android Studio.
I have recently updated some files associated with Dracula Pro. They're yours for free.
