That's untrue. I've created https://monokai.pro, to my knowledge the first commercial theme. It's been going strong for years now.

People are willing to pay for nice things. Especially if it takes longer to create it yourself.

A theme is more than a list of colors. Monokai Pro contains custom designed icons and color filters too, and some code logic to sync it all up. It needs continued updates, as editors keep evolving with new UX/UI elements.

I paid happily for monokai pro vscode since it was a one time payment. However I will not purchase a subscription for jetbrains intellij because per year it'll cost me the same amount as the intellij idea ultimate and that just doesn't seem like a fair price.

You get a perpetual licence after one year of payments.

Happy Monokai customer here! I want to make themes using my own palette but nothing supports OKLCH and I don't wanna convert to HEX.

I haven't noticed any difference after tailwind started using oklch, doubt there's any.

The question isn't whether you noticed a difference, but whether your aunt notices a difference on her 7 year old Chromebook

oklch should be an incredibly minor to unmeasurable performance hit, even on a 7 year old chromebook. Nor should it affect the displayed output. It's just a better color picker syntax.

[skrebbel]

7 year old chromebooks don't support olkch.

[nolist_policy]

Not true, Chromebooks receive 8-10 years of updates. Meaning a 7 year old Chromebook runs the latest Chrome with oklch.

I meant making themes for apps like Sublime Text, Zed, &c.
