Emacs: 'doric-meadow' and 'doric-mountain' coming to the 'doric-themes'

Version 1.4.0 of the doric-themes, which is currently in development, will include two new themes that draw inspiration from natural settings.

The Doric project is all about restraining the use of colour and being deliberate about the application of typographic styles. The result is a minimalist aesthetic that can make it easier to focus on the contents of the Emacs buffer.

Below are samples of the two themes. For accurate results, click to enlarge the image.

The Doric themes use few colours and will appear monochromatic in many contexts. They are my most minimalist themes. Styles involve the careful use of typographic features and subtleties in colour gradients to establish a consistent rhythm.

If you want maximalist themes in terms of colour, check my ef-themes package. For something in-between, which I would consider the best “default theme” for a text editor, opt for my modus-themes.
