Mindre Theme

Hello! I've been working on this minimal and light theme for a while and it was recently added to melpa.

Yes, but do you have a theme to get my beard like that as well?

That comes from using Emacs, so keep on hacking!

Now that's just gorgeous...

Thank you! :)

It's beautiful! And timely... I was just casting around for a zenburn replacement, and this might very well be it. Thanks!

pretty nice, a nano sibling it seems

This looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing your work. I think keywords like “title”, “deadline”, and so on could benefit from a higher contrast. You probably wanted to make them secondary elements/hints but the low contrast is just hard on the eyes (at least for me).

Thanks! >You probably wanted to make them secondary elements/hints You are correct :) I'm going to add a "higher contrast" option next. Edit: If you want and here's what you can do (using 'use-package') :custom-face (mindre-faded ((t (:foreground "#585c60")))) This color is used in the org-begin-line and should really be part of the palette alist. Note that this will affect comments as well. I will add possibility for more fine tuning over time.

looks gorgeous ! may you please share the font that you are using in the screenshot?

Here you go [https://github.com/erikbackman/mindre-theme#frequently-asked-questions](https://github.com/erikbackman/mindre-theme#frequently-asked-questions) :) ([Sarasa Gothic Mono](https://picaq.github.io/sarasa/)) You could probably just copy the Iosevka custom build instructions from Sarasa though.

thank you kindly !

That's certainly one of many inspirations but maybe more so the "gentoo colors". I'm a NixOS user but I was a long time gentoo user in the past I've always had a thing for those colors, if you take a look at the gentoo wiki you'll see what I mean :)

Oh I see, the few I remember of gentoo it was nice indeed.

Now do a dark theme!

Was it one of the most insane font installations you've ever seen? Did yours also err out as the end seemed near?

yeah i did unfortunately. then i realized i don't have to go through the pain, and found pre-built images, and used those. edit: picked it up from [here](https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/github-release/be5invis/Sarasa-Gothic/LatestRelease/)

Missed that. Thanks for the link.

Oh nice. Looks like Leuven and Nano had a baby where they got the good genes from both.

This is downvoted but it is meant as a compliment. Great work. Would love to see a dark theme from you because of your great work. I thought this was implicit in my comment. Maybe someone just hates dark themes...

Pretty accurate :) In my mind it's as if Leuven, Nano, Tao and the Gentoo Tyrian theme had a baby :P

Thanks :) I did not downvote. I have similar ideas for a dark theme that I possibly will get around to creating some day.

Thanks! Zenburn is a classic :)

I've been using doom-opera-light for some time, but this might just be a worthy replacement finally. Thanks for sharing!

Looks really great! Thanks! and +1 on the higher contrast option.

Omg that beard man! I’m sorry but it is stealing the thunder from your theme, which is great! Thanks for sharing your work.
