I am happy to hear that you like Nord so much 😊 Good to see that you clarify that this is your personal opinion with your own evaluation criteria instead of producing another clickbait listing of “the best themes“. It's important to always keep in mind that everyone has different preferences and that this fact is the reason why themes exist at all.

nord is so cool

Coming from the the medical field, let me add some (possible) lore to the Dracula scheme: assuming the guy was indeed hospitalized for pankreatitis, I would blame the food for the colors. I can assure you that there is no blander, non-pleasing and overall pale greyish food than the special diet designed for pankreas patients. In adults you will likely never see a more disappointed facial expression than when the patient lifts up the cover over his food for the first time only to discover a variety of bland toast, curd, cottage cheese, grey bread, flour soup or oats. Under those circumstances, I wonder why the colors are not popping more and have a more extreme contrast. Obviously I have not even finished watching, but .. nice one!

I really like your inclusion of the "lore" factor for the color schemes, very interesting :)

Once I heard your comparison of Dracula and Gruvbox and your preferences, I realized that what you rate as something you like is just the reverse for me. I want the saturation in colors and have difficulty with less saturated ones like in Gruvbox. "Easy on the eyes" are in the eyes of the beholder.

if you can could you upload a video about how you manage your audio through linux, if you use dsp corrections. I find this very hard to grasp.

My favourite theme is Monokai and I use it on my entire system. I use it with a different background color of #282828 though instead of the default one. Default is fine, I just kinda prefer it like this personally. Second favourite is gruvbox. Just all around good theme, personally I think it's kind of a better looking solarized theme.

I'm not sure if we can call Arc-Dark a color scheme since it's a gtk theme but I use it's colors in my terminal and pretty much anywhere else

hey, hows the hackingtosh holding up ?

Thank you so much for showing me Nord, It's my new favourite.

Hello Wolfgang, as far as your diclaimer went about accoustic panels go I was say get some of those accoustic Ceiling Tiles full panel size and place them around the room? that may help you out.

Dude, any content for you is good, I don't care if is just pure SP, I love it, also, wow I can't believe you also love Nord, what it calls my attention is that I ALSO love solarize, some type of pattern maybe? Anyway, I didn't imagine nord would be in this video, and that makes me happy, can't wait for part 2

I like Horizon and ayu but sometimes I also use a monochromatic color scheme where important keywords are more highlighted and less important elements are de-emphasized using monochromatic colors (e.g. gray or toned).

Will you review coding fonts? Hack is my favorite.

You know it's a serious colour scheme when they have a paid option.

I'm into the oceanic next, but will check nord when I'll get tired, thanks!

hi, cloud you please share your x1 carbon's efi to github?

Solarized is the most comfortable to my eyes. When you are working 9+ hours a day your eyes will care more about comfort than aesthetics.

Was a nord guy until I switched to Gruvbox. Now everything is gruvbox, KDE global theme onwards.

Twilight is also good color scheme, more like "warmer" version of Nord. Use in vim/sublime/terminals for 4+ years. Ideal for night sessions.

I really like this Gruvbox-Fork although it is only available for vim and is horrible to port, but it works quite well along actual gruvbox

how do I install gruvbox on Mac OS for my terminal? I'm so lost

One Dark is personally my favorite. I'm surprised you didn't cover it.

I happen to use Challenger Deep as my main scheme. It's like solarized dark, but purple.

You know, maybe nobody asked for a review of color schemes, but at least I really enjoyed it. Don't know what it is, but something in your videos just makes them, genuine, I guess. Really glad I've stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for effort and keep it up!)

I really like solarized light when I want a light environment, jerk. Lol. Thanks for pointing out Nord! I am trying it now in KDE and it looks nice AND whoever made the preset did a great job and not setting Too much transparency (which I normally never like, but this is nice). I did set the green shade to #75be73 instead though. But that's because I have a color blindness issue where certain shades of green look almost exactly like yellows...not easy when reading Ansible output

I use Solarized on most of my systems (mostly Linux). On Windows, it was a bit of pain to get it working correctly. Putty was easy enough though tedious as it required using the registry editor and cut/paste of the color scheme for each host. I have a lot of hosts, but not enough to figure out how to script it in Powershell. Installing the theme on the Windows command prompt and WSL was an absolute PITA. All said, once I finally got Solarized installed, I found it the easiest on my eyes and eye fatigue is definitely better than with the default 1980's console theme.

Best intro ever dude

You missed the chance to turn on the light and then just blast the Fugue in D minor to really set the spooky tone of Dracula lol - would have been really funny!

i like solarized but is a mess on truecolor terminal, the autocomplete box become pink and the text onside is pink, and the zsh auto suggest color is become invisible, so i jump to gruvbox and dracula. Nord, try it one time is too boring for me, so many color become too dim for my tast, just personal tast at this point. Found a solarized name "NeoSolarized" on github that support truecolor, I can use solarized again.

monokai? I don't use it myself (I'm a vim user and I just don't like how it looks on vim), but ik it's avaliable basically everywhere, so it would score high in that category at least.

I like Cobalt2 that I used for VS Code. Not sure it is used elsewhere

Monokai should be in the next video for sure 👌

I say yes for part 2 of this video , i like it allot

I started off with Solarized but got headaches. After trying a hundred or so color schemes, the five I use (in VS Code) are Noctis Lux, Cobalt2, feelgood, Monokai Pro, and New Moon. With light themes I use Cascadia Code 400 weight, with dark themes I use Office Code Pro 300 weight.

I'm really impressed by this video, it is probably THE best theme discussion I've come across in months. As a frequent theme-hopper (I like to keep things fresh), I have done quite some extensive research in many themes, and I agree with your theme choices and verdicts almost 100 per cent.

You're wrong about many aspects of gruvbox. Gruvbox has the same color properties as solarized in which the light and dark themes are equidistant from the neutral point. Additionally, all the colors are evenly geometrically separated. There is also a specification for the specific RGB values. There is also lore behind it. It's based on solarized but it's optimized for a warmer color scheme to reduce eye fatigue. This is all on the Github.

I think I used an Ubuntu colour scheme that was Solarized-inspired before, which was cool but the contrast in Solarized is too hard to read

I personally love dracula because it revolves around purple and I love this color. I understand that it may be too contrasted for some, but for me it's a requirement, I love colorful, saturated and yet pleasant colorschemes, it helps with the mood and well dracula achieves just that.
