Emacs24 on OS X
I’ve just posted a couple of my themes to Marmalade’s Elpa repository, soothe-theme and purple-haze-theme you can install them with package.el (part of Emacs24)
Find them with from M-x package-list-packages or just install them with M-x package-install
This is yet another Emacs24 theme, it has core support for font-lock and some basic editor elements.
At the moment, it lacks specific support for Org-mode, Helm, Gnus, Ido etc. etc. and it’s not terminal friendly. (that stuff will get added, but this is quick and dirty.)
If that’s good enough for you, grab it from github at http://github.com/jasonm23/emacs-purple-haze-theme
No prizes for guessing where the name came from.
Just a quick post about Soothe, I’ve updated it to run on the terminal, and adjust it’s colors accordingly.
Here’s a screengrab of it running in the terminal…
Soothe is also hosted on github as a standalone repo here, so it’s easier for me to add it to elpa/milkbox etc.
Also I’ve made a iTerm2 colortheme using the Soothe palette, which you can get over here
Well this isn’t anything to do with Emacs, but since this blog uses Octopress, I suppose this is as good a place as any to post this.
Continue reading →I have a bunch of Emacs color themes that I built a few years ago,
they use the old color-theme.el system, I’d also adapted a web-based
theme creator, so that it could load existing themes, as long as they
were in a fixed format, the same as used by
http://themes.sweyla.com/ - All in all I
was quite invested in color-theme.el
Mesa is a theme for Emacs 24, works in both the terminal and full color GUIs.
Download : mesa-theme.el
This is a theme I use almost exclusively now, it’s not Terminal friendly, and I should fix that, but if you’re using Emacs.app on OS X, or in another full color window manager it’ll serve you well.
The block-highlights may put you off, I find them very helpful for some reason I’m unable to clarify for you in any technical / psychological / color-theory sense, but try it out anyway.
Feel free to fork modify, whatever, it’s MIT Licensed.
Amber CRTs, Tangerine Dream, retro-futuristic, kandy kolored tangerine flake streamline baby… all these things held some influence over the creation of this theme. Well, those things, and the fact I like orange.
If you use a lot of css, you probably know there a few useful preprocessor, like SASS and LESS both of which give us a collection of color manipulation functions.
Building on the work done by the most excellent Drew Adams in his hexrgb.el (the original is at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/hexrgb.el)
I’ve added a few extensions, and tweaks to make it even more useful.
