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.

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 [](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#contrast-minimum)
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.

Organization
As Dracula grew to support 400+ applications, we moved from a single repository to a GitHub organization. Each theme now has its own repository, which makes it easier to:
- Support different package managers
- List maintainers for each theme
- Find installation instructions
- Release updates independently
Browse all themes in the Dracula organization.
