Consistent Developer Journey with Dracula 🧛‍♂️

Recently, I've customized all my favorite apps with Dracula theme. As the Dracula team does a great job, I quickly found themes for the following apps:

  • VSCode
  • Intellij
  • Vim

There are also many Dracula themes for Firefox. I choose Klorax' one.

Then, I wanted to go further and have the same journey in my terminal emulator. Fortunately, the deepin-terminal comes with a lot of bundled themes, including Dracula.

But as a Tmux user, I was a bit frustrated as the status line I used had nothing to do with Dracula. And there was no Dracula theme for Tmux. So I created one:

🔥 Awesome .tmux.conf configuration file with Dracula theme 🧛‍♂️ and task support.

tmux-dracula

Self-contained, pretty and versatile .tmux.conf configuration file with Dracula theme and task support.

Installation

Requirements:

  • tmux >= 2.1 running inside Linux, Mac, OpenBSD, Cygwin or WSL (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows)
  • taskwarrior
  • outside of tmux, $TERM must be set to xterm-256color

To install, run the following from your terminal: (you may want to backup your existing ~/.tmux.conf first)

$ cd
$ git clone git@github.com:mamyn0va/tmux-dracula.git .tmux
$ ln -s -f .tmux/.tmux.conf
$ cp .tmux/.tmux.conf.local
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

Then reload your tmux conf:

$ tmux source ~/.tmux.conf

Then install the required plugins by pressing prefix + I (capital i, as in Install) to fetch the plugins using tpm.

Finally proceed to customize your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy.

If you're a Vim user, setting the $EDITOR environment variable to vim will enable and further customize the vi-style key bindings (see tmux manual).

If you're new to tmux, I recommend…

In fact, I just forked the awesome Tmux conf from gpakosz and I changed the colors according to the color palette of Dracula.

Et voilà!

The shell in the screenshot is fish with SpaceFish prompt.

If you're looking to have the same look and feel when listing your folders (ls, ll or lla), I created a Dracula theme for colorls which is a drop-in replacement for ls unix command.

And you're done!
