Emacs: introduction to the ef-themes “frost” theme
I just added ef-frost
to my ef-themes
collection. It is a legible
light theme with cool colours ranging from blue to teal with touches
of purple.
[ The ef-themes
are a collection of light and dark themes for GNU
Emacs whose goal is to provide colourful (“pretty”) yet legible
options for users who want something with a bit more flair than the
modus-themes
(also designed by me). ]
Some screen shots are provided below, though you can find pictures of all the items in the collection here: https://protesilaos.com/emacs/ef-themes-pictures.
Note that some themes in the collection are designed as pairs. Those
have -light
or -dark
in their name. The others are standalone.
Regardless, the user can specify any two themes in the value of the
user option ef-themes-to-toggle
and then switch between them with
the command ef-themes-toggle
. Or just use the other available
commands: ef-themes-select
for minibuffer completion and the
ef-themes-load-random
to load one from the collection (with C-u
limit the effect to light or dark themes). The official manual
explains more.
ef-frost
Coming in version 0.7.0 (next stable release)
The ef-frost
theme is in development. I think its design is final,
though I might tweak it further. Expect this and other updates to be
widely available via GNU ELPA some time in mid October.
