Version 1.6.0 on 2024-03-11 ═══════════════════════════ This version adds some minor refinements and extends support for more packages or faces. Support for the built-in ERC feature ──────────────────────────────────── The `erc' is one of the IRC clients built into Emacs. The other is `rcirc', which the Ef themes have supported for a long time. All ERC buffers should now be consistent with the themes. Note that in the interest of simplicity I am not covering the niche feature of IRC to pass hardcoded colour values to some input. Those will not be consistent with the themes and it is up to the user to pick a legible colour combination (or, you know, just keep it simple). Better colours for the `ztree' package ────────────────────────────────────── With `ztree' the user can check the differences between two directories. All relevant colour-coding is now consistent with the Ef themes and will use the palette mappings of the active theme. Support for the built-in `window-divider-mode' ────────────────────────────────────────────── This mode controls the style of window dividers. Those now are using a grey value instead of the one applied to the main foreground. In other words, they are more subtle. The `highlight-indentation' package is covered ────────────────────────────────────────────── Thanks to Oleksii (Alex) Koval for the contribution. This was done in pull request 38: <https://github.com/protesilaos/ef-themes/pull/38>. The change is well below the ~15 line limit, meaning that Oleksii does not need to assign copyright to the Free Software Foundation. Some active region background colours are a bit more prominent ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The active region background colour of the `ef-autumn', `ef-night', `ef-symbiosis', and `ef-tritanopia-dark' themes is slightly more noticeable now. Before is was too subtle and thus hard to spot in some scenaria. An easier to spot magenta value for `ef-tritanopia-dark' ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Due to the requirements of blue-yellow colour deficiency (tritanomaly or tritanopia), this theme uses a more restricted set of colours, with carefully picked shades of magenta representing a neutral midpoint between red and cyan. One of the magenta values that was used in many parts of this theme is now recalibrated to better perform its function as a third and finer accent in relevant interfaces. Refined colours for colour-coded backgrounds in dark themes ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── In many interfaces the themes apply colour-coded styles to communicate meaning. For example, in Dired buffers items that are flagged for deletion have a red background while those that are merely selected use a green hue (deuteranopia and tritanopia themes have different colour-coding schemes). In almost all the dark Ef themes, the applicable values are now slightly more intense to (i) better complement the foreground they are combined with and (ii) perform their intended function of providing visual feedback. The `gnus-button' face is no longer underlined ────────────────────────────────────────────── This is because it applies in places where an underline is either misleadingly styled like a link or is the kind of extra emphasis we do not need (one of my design principles is to avoid exaggerations). … …
