Emacs: introduction to the ef-themes “cherie” theme
The ef-cherie theme is now part of my ef-themes package. It is a
legible dark theme with warm colors (mostly pink, magenta, gold).
Conceptually, it is the first theme I designed for this project but
never finalised: it was missing the je ne sais quoi that only became
obvious after I started covering the different stylistic variants that
form part of this collection.
Sample pictures are shown below. Also check the entire set: https://protesilaos.com/emacs/ef-themes-pictures. To get the most accurate results, click to enlarge the image.
The ef-themes now includes 20 items (10 light, 10 dark), which cover
a broad range of preferences and requirements for accessibility. I
consider the project complete from a stylistic point of view,
potential tweaks notwithstanding.
[ 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). ]
ef-cherie
Coming in version 0.9.0 (next stable release)
ef-cherie is under development. I think its character is clear at
this point and will condition any possible tweaks to its colour
palette or how colours are mapped to various constructs. At any rate,
changes are still possible.
Expect this and other goodies to be widely available in the next
version of the ef-themes, which I will prepare some time before the
end of this month.
