<p>Just published version <code>1.1.0</code> of <a href="https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes">the Modus
|
||
themes</a>. The release notes
|
||
are reproduced below. For any questions pertaining to this publication,
|
||
or anything else for that matter, feel welcome to <a href="https://protesilaos.com/contact/">contact
|
||
me</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Please note that the version of the themes currently in Emacs 28 is
|
||
<code>0.13.0</code>, though we are working towards keeping everything in sync.
|
||
Likewise, GNU ELPA is at <code>0.12.0</code> and will eventually be made to pull
|
||
directly from emacs.git. This is a volunteer effort: things need their
|
||
time, also in light of the prevailing conditions.</p>

<h2>Modus themes version 1.1.0</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>By Protesilaos Stavrou <a href="mailto:info@protesilaos.com">info@protesilaos.com</a> on 2021-01-24</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>This entry records the changes introduced to the project since the
|
||
publication of version 1.0.0 (2020-12-05). There have been around 150
|
||
commits in the meantime, qualifying this as one of the largest releases
|
||
to date.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>As always, every colour-related modification documented herein conforms
|
||
with the overarching accessibility objective of the themes for a minimum
|
||
contrast ratio of 7:1 between background and foreground values in their
|
||
given combination (conformance with the WCAG AAA standard).</p>
|

<h2>Overview</h2>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>We have brought back the options that were present in version 0.13.0
|
||
or earlier which allowed users to override colors for either—or
|
||
both—of Modus Operandi and Modus Vivendi. Compared to the old
|
||
mechanism, the new one is more robust and should work regardless of
|
||
whether users run byte compiled code or not. This is considered and
|
||
advanced, “do-it-yourself” pathway to theme customisation. It is
|
||
discussed at length in the manual.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The new <code>modus-themes-with-colors</code> macro makes it possible to read
|
||
palette variables from the active theme and, thus, pass them to
|
||
arbitrary functions or variables. Again, this is part of the advanced
|
||
customisations that are covered in the manual.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Several of the existing customisation options provide new stylistic
|
||
variants, further expanding their utility. While there are some new
|
||
customisations altogether. Combined with the above, we provide the
|
||
infrastructure that allows the themes to adapt gracefully to a variety
|
||
of circumstances and cover a broad range of demands.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>More packages are added to the already comprehensive list of supported
|
||
face groups.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Some of the supported faces have benefited from further, albeit
|
||
subtle, refinements, demonstrating our commitment to consistency as
|
||
well as our attention to detail.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Two reports on such “further refinements” were published on the code
|
||
log section of protesilaos.com: <a href="https://protesilaos.com/codelog">https://protesilaos.com/codelog</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>We have more people contributing to the project (and assigning
|
||
copyright to the FSF—as the themes are part of Emacs) and newer
|
||
users reporting issues. Also, there is anecdotal evidence from
|
||
several sources on an increased interest to make new or existing faces
|
||
accessible by default (such as by copying colour combinations from the
|
||
themes).</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>New customisation options</h2>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The existing <code>modus-themes-mode-line</code> variable now supports three new
|
||
borderless styles: <code>borderless</code>, <code>borderless-3d</code>, <code>borderless-moody</code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The <code>borderless</code> value uses the same colors as the default (nil
|
||
value), but removes the border effect. This is done by making the
|
||
box property use the same color as the background, effectively
|
||
blending the two and creating some padding.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The <code>borderless-3d</code> and <code>borderless-moody</code> approximate the <code>3d</code> and
|
||
<code>moody</code> options respectively, while removing the borders. However,
|
||
to ensure that the inactive modelines remain visible, they apply a
|
||
slightly more prominent background to them than what their
|
||
counterparts do (same inactive background as with the default).</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>The complete list of options:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>nil (default)</li>
|
||
<li>3d</li>
|
||
<li>moody</li>
|
||
<li>borderless</li>
|
||
<li>borderless-3d</li>
|
||
<li>borderless-moody</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p><code>modus-themes-lang-checkers</code> provides several styles for spell
|
||
checkers and code linters with regard to how they underline text. The
|
||
default (nil) is to use a colour-coded wavy underline, without
|
||
changing the foreground of the affected text. Other options include
|
||
the ability to set a straight underline and to control the saturation
|
||
of the foreground, while one also provides for a change in the
|
||
background of the text in question. The valid symbols are as follows
|
||
(read the manual for more on the matter):</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>nil (default)</li>
|
||
<li>straight-underline</li>
|
||
<li>subtle-foreground</li>
|
||
<li>subtle-foreground-straight-underline</li>
|
||
<li>intense-foreground</li>
|
||
<li>intense-foreground-straight-underline</li>
|
||
<li>colored-background</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The <code>modus-themes-org-habit</code> lets users pick between three styles for
|
||
the <code>org-habit</code> table: (1) nil (the default), which uses a total of
|
||
eight colours, (2) ‘simplified’ which reduces the effective colours to
|
||
four, while applying less saturated hues, and (3) <code>traffic-light</code>
|
||
which bring the colour count to three, thus blending the “clear” and
|
||
“ready” states for workflows where the distinction between is not
|
||
useful.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Please read the manual for a more detailed description of those
|
||
variants.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Thanks to Gustavo Barros for suggesting the idea, providing user
|
||
feedback on stylistic choices, as well as sharing insights on the
|
||
workflow that made the <code>traffic-light</code> style possible:
|
||
<a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/135">https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/135</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p><code>modus-themes-variable-pitch-ui</code> when set to a non-nil value applies a
|
||
proportionately spaced typeface (controlled by the <code>variable-pitch</code>
|
||
face) to the User Interface, specifically the mode line, header line,
|
||
and tab-{bar,line}.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The existing <code>modus-themes-links</code> variable now has a colourless
|
||
stylistic alternative: <code>underline-only</code>. The available styles:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>nil (default)</li>
|
||
<li>faint</li>
|
||
<li>neutral-underline</li>
|
||
<li>faint-neutral-underline</li>
|
||
<li>no-underline</li>
|
||
<li>underline-only</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The existing <code>modus-themes-prompts</code> variable has two new grayscale
|
||
styles: <code>subtle-gray</code>, <code>intense-gray</code>. Furthermore, their old
|
||
<code>subtle</code> and <code>intense</code> values have more informative aliases in the
|
||
form of <code>subtle-accented</code> and <code>intense-accented</code>. All available
|
||
values:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>nil (default)</li>
|
||
<li>subtle-accented (<code>subtle</code> remains for backward-compatibility)</li>
|
||
<li>intense-accented (<code>intense</code> remains for backward-compatibility)</li>
|
||
<li>subtle-gray</li>
|
||
<li>intense-gray</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The existing <code>modus-themes-headings</code> variable now accepts two new
|
||
styles: <code>no-color</code>, <code>no-color-no-bold</code>. All stylistic variants:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>nil (default fallback option—covers all heading levels)</li>
|
||
<li>t (default style for a single heading, when the fallback differs)</li>
|
||
<li>no-bold</li>
|
||
<li>line</li>
|
||
<li>line-no-bold</li>
|
||
<li>rainbow</li>
|
||
<li>rainbow-line</li>
|
||
<li>rainbow-line-no-bold</li>
|
||
<li>highlight</li>
|
||
<li>highlight-no-bold</li>
|
||
<li>rainbow-highlight</li>
|
||
<li>rainbow-highlight-no-bold</li>
|
||
<li>section</li>
|
||
<li>section-no-bold</li>
|
||
<li>rainbow-section</li>
|
||
<li>rainbow-section-no-bold</li>
|
||
<li>no-color</li>
|
||
<li>no-color-no-bold</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<p>Please read the manual for instructions on how to apply those
|
||
universally or on a per-level basis.</p>

<h2>Refinements to already supported faces</h2>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Reviewed the <code>rainbow-delimiters</code> faces. Everything is documented in
|
||
a separate report (with screenshots). The short version is that we
|
||
pay close attention to detail and are willing to go to great lengths
|
||
in pursuit of improving the overall user experience:
|
||
<a href="https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2020-12-27-modus-themes-review-rainbow-delimiters/">https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2020-12-27-modus-themes-review-rainbow-delimiters/</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Updated the dedicated colours for <code>whitespace-mode</code>. The background
|
||
should now be easier to discern. Also removed any remaining
|
||
inconsistencies. Thanks to Toon Claes for the feedback:
|
||
<a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/149">https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/149</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Refined the faces of regexp constructs for strings affected by certain
|
||
values passed to the <code>modus-themes-syntax</code> option. This is done to
|
||
disambiguate the backslashes and grouping delimiters from the rest of
|
||
the string. The relevant values for <code>modus-themes-syntax</code> are:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>green-strings</li>
|
||
<li>yellow-comments-green-strings</li>
|
||
<li>alt-syntax</li>
|
||
<li>alt-syntax-yellow-comments</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>The default colour for strings is blue, while regexp faces are yellow
|
||
and red, whereas in those variants the strings become green, hence the
|
||
need to make regexp faces more distinct (blue and magenta contrast
|
||
better with green and also between themselves, thus matching the
|
||
alternative aesthetics).</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Reviewed dictionary.el faces (which ships with Emacs 28):</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Made <code>dictionary-reference-face</code> look like all other links.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Removed all properties from <code>dictionary-word-definition-face</code>:
|
||
the default sets a font family, which can create inconsistencies.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Converted <code>dictionary-word-entry-face</code> into comment-like text.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Refined and expanded the faces of Consult.</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Made its grep commands look the same as those of all other grep
|
||
tools.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Ensured that line number previews, such as for the <code>consult-line</code>
|
||
command use their own style of a subtle foreground instead of
|
||
inheriting from the <code>line-number</code> face. This is to avoid cases
|
||
where previewed numbers and actual line numbers could be conflated
|
||
for one another.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Removed the foreground pertinent to <code>consult-imenu-prefix</code>, as its
|
||
bold weight combined with the structure of Imenu indices was deemed
|
||
sufficient to differentiate it from actual <code>consult-imenu</code> targets.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Eliminated exaggerations in the use of colour for various <code>which-key</code>
|
||
faces.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Removed the needless background from the <code>log-view-commit-body</code> face.
|
||
This is a new face that ships with Emacs 28 (its inclusion upstream
|
||
was documented in the last changelog entry).</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Applied a subtle background to the <code>log-view-message</code> face, in the
|
||
interest of improving the usability of its interface, in particular,
|
||
to contribute to heightened situational awareness while invoking
|
||
<code>log-view-toggle-entry-display</code> in buffers such as those produced by
|
||
<code>vc-print-root-log</code>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Introduced a neutral background for all <code>outline-minor-faces</code> instead
|
||
of merely mirroring the style of <code>outline-mode</code> headings. This is
|
||
because it can sometimes be hard to tell whether <code>outline-minor-mode</code>
|
||
is active, provided certain fairly common configurations in the
|
||
<code>modus-themes-headings</code> user option (refer to the manual for all
|
||
customisation options).</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Tweaked <code>diff-mode</code> headings.</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Adjusted the values of the dedicated colours for diff headings in
|
||
order to amplify their relative contrast.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Assigned a bold typographic weight to the <code>diff-hunk-header</code> face so
|
||
as to enforce a greater sense of structure.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Instructed <code>diff-function</code> to inherit <code>modus-theme-diff-heading</code> in
|
||
order to eliminate exaggerations in colouration.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Removed unnecessary underline from <code>selectrum-current-candidate</code>.
|
||
Thanks to Daniel Mendler for the feedback:
|
||
<a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/132">https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/132</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Made <code>counsel-outline</code> inherit from the underlying Org faces. Also
|
||
corrected the style of <code>counsel-outline-default</code> to use the main
|
||
foreground colour. Thanks to Gustavo Barros for the feedback:
|
||
<a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/134">https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/134</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Prevented headings, ultimately governed by the <code>modus-themes-headings</code>
|
||
user option, from inheriting the <code>default</code> face as that could lead to
|
||
unintended consequences, such as by retaining a background colour when
|
||
none was expected.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Refashioned all faces that specified a foreground value of <code>fg-alt</code> to
|
||
inherit the <code>shadow</code> face instead (<code>fg-alt</code> is the colour that is
|
||
used, for example, in code comments by default). This makes it
|
||
possible for users to enact change across the theme just by tweaking
|
||
<code>shadow</code>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Fixed <code>ruler-mode</code> text scaling adjustment, to make it cope well with
|
||
<code>text-scale-adjust</code> and relevant commands. Also introduced minor
|
||
stylistic changes to the remainder of the <code>ruler-mode</code> faces.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Eliminated the potentially problematic form of <code>:foreground nil</code> from
|
||
the <code>org-ellipsis</code> face. In such cases it is always better to either
|
||
specify no foreground whatsoever, or declare an unspecified value.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>

<h2>Patches from the community</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Remember that the themes are part of Emacs and, thus, contributions that

<p>Nicolas De Jaeghere set up the infrastructure that grants users the
|
||
ability to override palette colors; an option that was removed in the
|
||
transition from version 0.13.0 to 1.0.0. The relevant variables are
|
||
<code>modus-themes-colors-operandi</code>, <code>modus-themes-colors-vivendi</code> (again,
|
||
consult the manual):
|
||
<a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/23">https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/23</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Nicolas De Jaeghere deleted the <code>modus-themes-core.el</code> file and merged
|
||
its contents into the main <code>modus-themes.el</code> library:
|
||
<a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/24">https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/24</a> and
|
||
<a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/25">https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/25</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Nicolas De Jaeghere made the <code>compilation-info</code> face consistent with
|
||
other compilation faces in terms of their optional bold weight:
|
||
<a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/26">https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/26</a>.</p>

</ul>
|

|
||
<p>Any remaining faults that may exist, despite our best intentions to
|
||
remove them, are those of the maintainer and will be addressed as soon
|
||
as they are identified.</p>

<h2>Theme-related contributions to the wider community</h2>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Helped address an incomplete colour value in <code>org-transclusion-block</code>:
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion/issues/41">https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion/issues/41</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Contributed to the formation of the zebra striping of <code>embark</code>:
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/oantolin/embark/commit/bb4ae2a666ab1f4a307edd71f77bcbb90fb25cef">https://github.com/oantolin/embark/commit/bb4ae2a666ab1f4a307edd71f77bcbb90fb25cef</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Reviewed the faces of <code>goggles</code>:
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/minad/goggles/commit/d6e584a2c9487d3df4aee818c43485e437cb87ef">https://github.com/minad/goggles/commit/d6e584a2c9487d3df4aee818c43485e437cb87ef</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Helped raise awareness about refactoring <code>org-tree-slide-header-overlay-face</code>:
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/takaxp/org-tree-slide/issues/38">https://github.com/takaxp/org-tree-slide/issues/38</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Reported an issue for Moody that would affect the subset of Emacs 28
|
||
users who enable the new <code>mode-line-compact</code> option:
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/tarsius/moody/issues/28">https://github.com/tarsius/moody/issues/28</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Did the same for Keycast: <a href="https://github.com/tarsius/keycast/issues/13">https://github.com/tarsius/keycast/issues/13</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Defined the new <code>perl-non-scalar-variable</code> in upstream Emacs:
|
||
<a href="https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=45840">https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=45840</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Miscellaneous</h2>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Created a new palette subset for “graph” colours, as none of the
|
||
existing paradigms would suffice for cases where faithfulness to
|
||
colour huenesss is important. Those are currently used by
|
||
<code>modus-themes-org-habit</code>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Ensured that theme functions which need to produce an error message do
|
||
so by calling <code>error</code> instead of <code>user-error</code>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Added a <code>modus-themes-load-themes</code> function that users can add to
|
||
their init files.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Expanded the project’s git repo README file with a sample
|
||
<code>use-package</code> configuration.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The previous two points followed from an inquiry into the subtleties
|
||
between <code>enable-theme</code> and <code>load-theme</code>. Those are now documented at
|
||
length in the manual.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Added screenshots to the web page that holds the official manual.
|
||
Thanks to Damien Cassou for the feedback:
|
||
<a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/147">https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/147</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Swapped the values of <code>cyan-faint</code> and <code>cyan-alt-faint</code> for Modus
|
||
Vivendi.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Tweaked <code>font-lock-doc-face</code> and <code>font-lock-type-face</code> variations when
|
||
“faint syntax” is in effect: (setq modus-themes-syntax ‘faint).</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Refined <code>font-lock-doc-face</code> for when modus-themes-syntax is given a
|
||
value of either <code>yellow-comments-green-strings</code> or <code>green-strings</code>.
|
||
The changes are minor when treated in isolation, though they have
|
||
helped improve the overall consistency of the end result: the gestalt.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Reviewed select “faint” colours for both Modus Operandi and Modus
|
||
Vivendi. The technicalities are discussed in a complete report:
|
||
<a href="https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2021-01-11-modus-themes-review-select-faint-colours/">https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2021-01-11-modus-themes-review-select-faint-colours/</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Ensured that (setq modus-themes-syntax ‘alt-syntax) and its “yellow
|
||
comments” variant are more truthful to their intended style, by
|
||
eliminating any exaggerations in the use of colour.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Adjusted the saturation of the green-alt value of Modus Vivendi.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Updated the manual to reflect all of the aforementioned.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>Thanks once again to everyone who contributed patches or reported an
|
||
issue. This has been yet another period of intense work; work which
|
||
helps solidify the Modus themes as (i) uncompromisingly accessible in
|
||
accordance with the highest legibility standard, (ii) highly
|
||
customisable in true Emacs fashion, (iii) thoroughly comprehensive in
|
||
terms of face coverage, and (iv) meticulously designed throughout.</p>
