What's your favorite editor/terminal color scheme?

For an article I'm writing; what's your favorite editor/terminal color scheme? How long have you been using it, and what did you use before? And, perhaps most importantly, do you use the same scheme in your editor and terminal? Bonus points for posting screenshots of your setup in action!

Dracula - draculatheme.com/

I've been using it for around 1+ year and I used to be a one dark theme user.

I use gruvbox for pretty much everything, though I tweak it a little bit (darker backgrounds in Vim, transparent background in terminals with an almost-black textured image as the background instead).

I've been happy with this since the day I discovered it:

Before this I used (probably) something like Tango for the terminal colours and Molokai or Jellybeans for Vim. I can't work well with light backgrounds.

I can't stand Solarized or its derivatives, which seems to be everyone's go-to scheme. I'm aware that Gruvbox takes some inspiration from Solarized but it does it in a much less annoying way and my customisations are mostly to up the contrast anyway.

Vim(github.com/vim-scripts/greenvision) or Atom(atom.io/themes/hacking-the-kernel)

Started using the one in Atom about 2-3 years ago, Once you go green you won't change your theme!

Loving that retro look! I've been pondering switching to a monochrome theme, but never got around to actually doing it. I might try one soon. :)

It's sad that the vim repo doesn't have a img, so here you go minio.int.lubek.info/dropshare/POW...

I was switching themes a lot, monokai, dracula, material and many many more. After switching to this one I don't even feel the urge to look for a new one! :D

I used Atom for a while, but switched to Visual Studio Code for general purpose development and I have been amazed with it. I like to use DuoTone Themes - Dark Space.

I love An Old Hope! I've either found ports or ported it to pretty much everything I use: Hyper term, iTerm2, VS Code, Vim, etc.

UI Integration

This theme best integrates with Atom's One Dark UI. By default, UI is left untouched. If you want the modified UI (as shown in the screenshot below) for better colour matching between UI syntax theme, add the following line to your Init Script and reload Atom.

document.body.classList.add('an-old-hope-modify-ui')

I use that one too! I hadn't considered porting it over, but now I'll have to look into getting it into RubyMine cause I prefer it over what I'm using there (Monokai).

vim and terminal screenshots

They've been in their current state for about a year, but had been taking shape gradually for around another year before that when I migrated to Linux and decided to put some effort into colorschemes instead of just using the defaults.

Customized Solarized Light ethanschoonover.com/solarized

I customize solarized because default Solarized has too much contrast for some colors.

I use almost same themes for VSCode, Xcode, iTerm. And I'v using this theme more than 5 years.
For now I feel board using this theme. I'm looking for another light themes.

I was used to Solarized Dark, but a few months ago I switched to Zenburn in my terminal and Emacs, and I'm happy with it.
