Version 1.8.0 on 2024-08-27
The ef-themes
package is in a stable state. The collection covers a
wide spectrum of tastes while maintaining a high standard of legibility.
I have made a few quality-of-life refinements and added two exciting
new themes.
Enjoy the ef-eagle
and ef-owl
themes
These are the two new members of the collection. Both draw inspiration from the large predatory birds I encounter in my mountains. Both themes avoid the use of highly saturated colours.
ef-eagle
is a light theme with varying shades of brown and complementary colours.ef-owl
is a dark theme with varying shades of silverblue and complementary colours.
The announcement I made on my blog about these two themes includes pictures of them: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2024-08-19-ef-eagle-and-owl-themes/.
The "midnight" mode of pdf-tools
is supported
The pdf-tools
package provides the pdf-view-midnight-minor-mode
,
which applies dark colours to the document. Those colours will now be
taken from the active theme, resulting in a more consistent reading
experience.
Org checkboxes are monospaced if needed
When the user sets the option ef-themes-mixed-fonts
to a non-nil
value, the Org checkboxes will be rendered in a monospaced font
(technically, they inherit the fixed-pitch
face). This is done to
preserve the alignment of items when variable-pitch-mode
is enabled
(or the user sets a proportionately spaced font as their default).
Remember that the point of "mixed fonts" is to use monospacing for those elements that are space-sensitive, like code blocks and tables.
Thanks to Gautier Ponsinet for making the Org checkboxes conform with this design. The change is small and thus does not require copyright assignment to the Free Software Foundation.
The elisp-shorthand-font-lock-face
is now easier to spot
This is a way for Emacs packages to define so-called "shorthands" of
short prefixes in symbols that are aliases for longer ones. For
example, my-long-package-name-prefix
may be expressed as mlp
in
the source code. These shorthands will now use a style that is not
found anywhere else in Elisp code, making them stand out more.
A better "alt" foreground for ef-melissa-light
and ef-melissa-dark
The themes define an alternative foreground colour which is used for
ancillary elements such as Org property drawers. For
ef-melissa-light
and ef-melissa-dark
this colour is easier to tell
apart from the colour used for comments. It still retains the same
pleasant quality of being easy-to-read without calling too much
attention to itself.
The new bg-search-match
semantic colour mapping
Each theme has a palette that defines named colours and semantic mappings. These are useful for my purposes while developing the themes, but also for users who have the option to override the palette (check the manual for further details).
The bg-search-match
is used for "matches" that are persistent in
search results, such as in Occur and Grep buffers. The colour in use
