  • Readable nord theme?
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 11 Jan 2022
    The dark version of my bespoke-themes is pretty similar to nord. It has company colors set for better visibility.

  • Suggest me a good (Light) Emacs color theme for text editing

    I'm partial to the light variant of bespoke-themes (though I also created the theme ;))
  • New Theme: Bespoke-themes (and request for any advice)
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 31 May 2021
    Hi all, I've been working on bespoke-themes, which started out as a fork of Nicolas Rougier’s amazing work on elegant-emacs and nano-emacs. It sports a similar vibe, though some of the base colors are different and it is slightly less minimal and "opinionated" than nano-emacs. It also has the benefit of being (I hope) easily incorporated into one's existing emacs as a theme, rather than the more "distro" style of nano-emacs (which is a great project, but maybe not for everyone). I'm hoping to submit it to MELPA before too long. Long story short though, I'm looking for advice on the following:
  • nano-theme.el , I split this from nano-emacs.

    This is really nice! I've done something similar, though somewhat less true to the original nano-theme colors and style -- see my bespoke themes
  • Ask: What's your favorite modeline mode?
    7 projects | /r/emacs | 18 May 2021
    I use a fork of the modeline from https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs. Its got a few extra little bells and whistles. See https://github.com/mclear-tools/bespoke-themes/blob/main/bespoke-modeline.el.
