Theme deviation.

[blowsie]

Hi,

Thanks for your efforts in this theme! In the last update, the theme deviates alot from what I know, and love, and still find in other IDEs.

Example.

Webstorm:

VS Code:

---

Is this a bug? Why has the theme deviated?

• Is this a bug? NO.
• WHY? Actually, Dracula theme template only introduces a color palette, you can find the palette here. It means different authors may implement theme differently. But we all obey the base color palette.

Well, according to the dracula github some colors are well defined.

Palette	Hex	RGB	HSL
Background	#282a36	40 42 54	231° 15% 18%
Current Line	#44475a	68 71 90	232° 14% 31%
Selection	#44475a	68 71 90	232° 14% 31%
Foreground	#f8f8f2	248 248 242	60° 30% 96%
Comment	#6272a4	98 114 164	225° 27% 51%

I assumed this plugin was following these rules or there was some "official" way of defining how the theme looks.

Either way, personally I prefer how it looked before the update. Why? My method calls are more greyed out than my comments, which just seems backwards.

So i did some digging and found many of the colors are not using the color pallette at all?

1. Comment color is not adopt from the palette. Because the original color may lead the comments hard to distinguish from others, see issue #1
2. Exactly only two colors are not using the color palette:
   • Comment color, according to point 1.
   • Parameter color, due to color lackness in default palette.
3. Any other colors not adopt from the official palette may be inherited from JetBrains IDEs' default color scheme.
4. Other Dracula theme implementation keep some "pure white" syntax highlight like the one you see in VSCode port. I totally dislike this style, so I try to avoid such "pure white" color, which leads to this somewhat "deviated" implementation.
