The standard-themes-headings
now covers the Org agenda
The user option standard-themes-headings
lets the user control the
height, weight, and use of proportionately spaced fonts
(variable-pitch
) on a per-heading basis. Different combinations are
possible, as explained in the option's doc string on the corresponding
entry in the manual.
I have now made it possible to specify the agenda-date
and
agenda-structure
keys. Both pertain to the Org agenda. The former
applies to date headings, while the latter styles the headings of each
"block" of content. In a generic agenda buffer, that block heading is
the first line which reads Week-agenda (W49):
or something like
that, though we find such headings in more places as well.
Here is a sample with various stylistic variants per heading:
(setq standard-themes-headings ; read the manual's entry or the doc string '((0 . (variable-pitch light 1.9)) (1 . (variable-pitch light 1.8)) (2 . (semilight 1.7)) (3 . (semilight 1.6)) (4 . (1.5)) ; absence of weight means "regular" (5 . (1.4)) (6 . (bold 1.3)) (7 . (bold 1.2)) (agenda-date . (semilight 1.5)) (agenda-structure . (variable-pitch light 1.9)) (t . (variable-pitch 1.1))))
Note that Org re-uses heading levels past 8. This means that level 9
will look the same as level 1. This is not the theme's doing. Check
the user options org-level-faces
, org-n-level-faces
for ways to
change this.
M-x theme-choose-variant
works as expected
Users of Emacs 29 have access to the command theme-choose-variant
:
it toggles between two themes of the same family. If the family
has more members, it uses minibuffer completion instead.
I registered the appropriate theme properties to make this work as
intended. However, it is still possible to use the command
standard-themes-toggle
.
Stylistic refinements
- Simplified the Magit blame faces to avoid exaggerations.
- Revised the colours of day headings in the
M-x calendar
buffer. Weekends stand out, as is the case with physical calendars and many established apps. - Made the
edmacro-label
face stand out in its context. Otherwise it was difficult to spot. This is for Emacs 29 and applies to headings in the keyboard macro editing buffer (e.g. withC-x C-k C-e
(kmacro-edit-macro-repeat
)). - Added support for the
powerline
package.
