Sunburn — a low-contrast theme for Emacs and iTerm2

README

Sunburn Theme for Emacs and iTerm2

Overview

This is a low-contrast theme for Emacs and iTerm2. After using Zenburn for several years, I decided I wanted something a bit different, but in the same spirit, so I went looking for colors I liked. I’ve always liked the palette of old Sun workstations and boxes, combining shades of gray and purple.

Turns out, they don’t work very well for text, but they did provide a starting point for exploration. The main palette for this theme looks like this:

In use, it looks like this:

Since I also use iTerm2 quite a bit, I did a port of the theme to it.

Installation

For iTerm, simply import the theme from the drop-down in the Preferences → Profiles → Colors pane.

On Emacs, you can install it either from MELPA, or alternatively:

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "path/where/you/put/the/theme/")
(load-theme 'sunburn)

sunburn-theme's Issues

Magit colors

Hi, and thank you for a neat little theme. :)

I wonder if you have tested this theme with https://magit.vc/, and if so, if you like the colors being used there. If you haven't, then I would like to suggest that the chunk selection highlight color in the Magit status window be changed from the (rather contrasting IMHO) blue into a more neutral grey, preferably only slightly brighter than the ordinary (non-highlighted) grey background.

It's something that I think Zenburn does correctly. When looking at diffs/chunks, I prefer to only have the red/green diff lines stand out and the rest be more neutral colors.

Links in Emacs Buffer

Perhaps this is an error which I am at fault for, but links in Sunburn look no different than other text in the Emacs buffer, while the default Emacs theme shows it explicitly.

Compare the Emacs theme main page to Sunburn's main page.

Is it possible to change this so that links are more obvious?

Melpa?

Any chance of getting this in a package repo?
