It is raining and I have no coaching work right now… I am thus planning to do a live stream on various Emacs topics. The video will be recorded and can be watched later.

There is nothing specific I want to talk about. I will just do some general maintenance of Emacs code and go with the flow.

A non-exhaustive list of items:

Write a defalias of modus-themes-items to modus-themes-collection.
Write the inverse for the ef-themes.
Document in the Modus manual how to add more spacing in the frame and between windows.

Solve a problem on how to get the cursor colour from the current theme (see snippet below).

;; Getting the cursor color
(car (alist-get 'cursor ef-duo-dark-palette))
;; => "#ef6f11"

;; Getting the theme and adding the "-palette" string to match the alist
(intern-soft (format "%s-palette"
                     (car custom-enabled-themes)))
;; => ef-duo-dark-palette

;; Getting frustrated for not being able to see the error....
(alist-get 'cursor
           (intern-soft (format "%s-palette"
                                (car custom-enabled-themes))))

Of course, I can also do whatever else may come up during the chat. I understand this is a short notice (I am typing this at 2023-05-06 08:01 +0300), so no worries if you can’t make it.
