Screenshots

Both theme previews come from an isolated Paseo test daemon at 2× pixel density. Browser DevTools replaces the local host label and verifies that no private organization names remain before capture.

Install

Paseo 0.9.0 and 0.10.1 can install from npm and use Paseo's update command. See INSTALL.md for commands, activation, and removal.

Themes

This minimal, data-only plugin contributes both variants defined by the official Dracula specification:

  • Dracula: the original dark theme.
  • Alucard: the complementary light theme.

The plugin registers no surfaces, commands, RPCs, filesystem access, process access, or network behavior.

Paseo expands each contributed seed palette into app surfaces, panels, menus, diffs, status colors, terminal colors, focus treatment, and shadows. Syntax highlighting is a separate Paseo preference. For Dracula, select Dracula under Settings → Appearance → Highlight theme for matching code colors. For Alucard, use one of Paseo's light-capable syntax themes.

Requirements and limits

  • Requires Paseo ^0.9.0 || ^0.10.0 || ^0.11.0.
  • The plugin contains no daemon-side behavior and does not read or change application state.

Palette mapping

Every contributed seed is set explicitly from the official Dracula Classic and Alucard Classic palette or UI palette.

Paseo uses mutedForeground for normal-sized metadata and interactive control labels, including task progress and model selection. Dracula's official editor manifest likewise uses Foreground for buttons, badges, and dropdown text, while reserving Comment for placeholders and inactive items. On Paseo control surfaces, the respective Comment colors provide only 1.94

and 3.75
contrast; the Foreground colors provide 8.59
and 10.70
and satisfy the official specification's 4.5
minimum.
