Emacs: doric-themes version 1.4.0

These are my minimalist themes. They use few colours and will appear mostly monochromatic in many contexts. Styles involve the careful use of typography, such as italics and bold italics.

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

Below are the release notes.

Update to doric-themes version 1.4.0

The new doric-meadow and doric-mountain themes

doric-meadow is a light theme with yellow and green colours, while doric-mountain has a similar albeit dark palette. They expand the collection of the Doric themes to cover even more styles and preferences.

Diff colours are refined

I improved the inter-theme consistency of all colours that apply to diffs, such as those shown in diff-mode, ediff, and magit buffers.

Before, some themes were needlessly more subtle than others while certain colours could be hard to discern in some situations. For example, if the diff-hl package was in use and the fringe was set to a thin line.

Other packages also benefit from this review, such as my pulsar and lin.

Matching parentheses are distinct from the active region

The highlight of matching parentheses produced by show-paren-mode is now distinct from the active region. The same is true for the current line, per hl-line-mode.

The doric-themes-define-theme should not fail in certain cases

I fixed an issue that was reported to me by Amin Bandali where the doric-themes-define-theme was failing to instantiate a theme in the macroexpanded code.

The bg-accent and fg-accent palette entries are renamed

This is relevant for those who rely on doric-themes-with-colors. The new names are bg-accent-primary and fg-accent-primary. The old ones will not longer work.
