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.

Download…

deep-blue-day-theme.el

mechanical-turq-theme.el

Save them to your emacs custom theme folder, ~/.emacs.d/ by default, and in Emacs use M-x enable-theme to load and enable them (TAB completion will be available there, to make your life easier.)

If you have questions, let me know.

Update: Jan 2013 - There is now a new powerline.el (1.2)

*Note that these enhancements were made to an earlier version, which has been bugfixed. It should be trivial to extract the xpm data / memoization / condition, for a shape you’d like, I’ll patch and pull-request at some stage to add these into the latest version…
