Dracula Theme is an open-source project driven by and for the community. Most of 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.

- Support different package managers
- List maintainers for each theme
- Find installation instructions
- Release updates independently
Browse all themes in the Dracula organization.
