Version 0.10.0 of package Ef-Themes has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Ef-Themes describes itself as: =========================== Colorful and legible themes =========================== More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ef-themes.html ## Summary: # Ef (εὖ) themes for GNU Emacs IMAGES HERE: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/ef-themes-pictures>. The `ef-themes` are a collection of light and dark themes for GNU Emacs whose goal is to provide colorful ("pretty") yet legible options for users who want something with a bit more flair than the `modus-themes` (also designed by me). Watch the presentation, which demonstrates each of the eight themes in the collection: <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-08-18-ef-themes-demo/>. ## Recent NEWS: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHANGE LOG OF THE EF THEMES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This document contains the release notes for each tagged commit on the project's main git repository: <https://git.sr.ht/~protesilaos/ef-themes>. The newest release is at the top. For further details, please consult the manual: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/ef-themes>. Version 0.10.0 on 2022-12-02 ════════════════════════════ New user option for highlighted region ────────────────────────────────────── The `ef-themes-region' accepts a list of symbols that affect how the region looks. The manual or the variable's doc string describe the technicalities. Here is a sample: ┌──── │ (setq ef-themes-region '(intense no-extend)) └──── Remember that changes to theme user options must be done before loading a theme. For any subsequent customisation, a theme re-load is required. The `ef-themes-headings' now affects the Org agenda ─────────────────────────────────────────────────── Before, the Org agenda headings would inherit from the generic heading levels 0 and 1. This had undesired effects, as users often need a taller typeface for prose (e.g. regular Org files), though not necessarily for viewing their already well-structured Org agenda. The `ef-themes-headings' can now control the Org agenda date and structure headings directly. A complete example: ┌──── │ (setq ef-themes-headings ; read the manual's entry or the doc string │ '((0 . (variable-pitch light 1.9)) │ (1 . (variable-pitch light 1.8)) │ (2 . (variable-pitch light 1.7)) │ (3 . (variable-pitch semilight 1.6)) │ (4 . (variable-pitch semilight 1.5)) │ (5 . (variable-pitch regular 1.4)) │ (6 . (variable-pitch regular 1.3)) │ (7 . (variable-pitch 1.2)) ; absence of weight means `bold' │ (agenda-date . (semilight 1.5)) │ (agenda-structure . (variable-pitch light 1.9)) │ (t . (variable-pitch 1.1)))) └──── In Org agenda buffers, the "structure" is the type of heading that describes the current block of content. In the generic agenda, it is the first line, which reads something like `Week-agenda (W48):'. Note that Org re-uses heading levels past 8. This is not the theme's work, so heading 9 looks the same as 1. Check the user options `org-level-faces', `org-n-level-faces' for ways to change this. Support for more packages ───────────────────────── ⁃ cider ⁃ clojure-mode ⁃ eglot ⁃ perspective. Thanks to Walheimat for the contribution. This was done in pull request 18 on the GitHub mirror: <https://github.com/protesilaos/ef-themes/pull/18>. The change is below the ~15 line limit. It does not require copyright assignment to the Free Software Foundation. ⁃ tree-sitter Lots of small tweaks to colour values ───────────────────────────────────── All themes have enjoyed attention to their details. The general idea is that some colours are fine-tuned to look better in their context. In most cases, the change is subtle and can only be noticed when comparing samples side-by-side. Some more noticeable effects: ⁃ All neutral backgrounds that are used for elements such as the `tab-bar-mode', the `header-line', the mode lines, and the like, are all amplified. They should now be easier to discern, especially on monitors with inaccurate reproduction of grey values. ⁃ The `match' face, which is used by Grep, Occur, and related, now uses a coloured background instead of a neutral grey. This makes it easier to stand out. The choice of colour is consistent with the backgrounds used by Isearch for the current and other matches: they do not clash (e.g. a user may perform a search inside an Occur buffer). ⁃ The `M-x calendar' weekdays and weekends are rendered in distinct … …
