doom-themes

A theme megapack for GNU Emacs, inspired by community favorites. Special attention is given for Doom Emacs and solaire-mode support, but will work fine anywhere else.

See the screenshots.

Doom Emacs

The built-in :ui doom module installs and configures doom-themes for you, and loads doom-one by default. To change the theme, change doom-theme:

;; in ~/.doom.d/config.el
(setq doom-theme 'doom-city-lights)

Manually + use-package

doom-themes is available on MELPA. Here is an example configuration with some common defaults laid out:

(use-package doom-themes
  :ensure t
  :config
  ;; Global settings (defaults)
  (setq doom-themes-enable-bold t    ; if nil, bold is universally disabled
        doom-themes-enable-italic t) ; if nil, italics is universally disabled
  (load-theme 'doom-one t)

  ;; Enable flashing mode-line on errors
  (doom-themes-visual-bell-config)
  ;; Enable custom neotree theme (all-the-icons must be installed!)
  (doom-themes-neotree-config)
  ;; or for treemacs users
  (setq doom-themes-treemacs-theme "doom-atom") ; use "doom-colors" for less minimal icon theme
  (doom-themes-treemacs-config)
  ;; Corrects (and improves) org-mode's native fontification.
  (doom-themes-org-config))

Extensions

Check out the wiki for details on customizing our neotree/treemacs/etc extensions.

• (doom-themes-visual-bell-config): flash the mode-line when the Emacs bell rings (i.e. an error occurs). May not be compatible with all mode line plugins.

• (doom-themes-neotree-config): a neotree theme that takes after Atom's file drawer; a more minimalistic icon theme plus variable pitch file/directory labels, as seen in the doom-one screenshot.

  (This requires all-the-icons' fonts to be installed: M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts)

• (doom-themes-treemacs-config): two treemacs icon themes, one that takes after Atom's, and a second more colorful implementation.

• (doom-themes-org-config): corrects and improves some of org-mode's native fontification issues.

  • Re-set org-todo & org-headline-done faces to make them respect underlying faces (i.e. don't override the :height or :background of underlying faces).
  • Make statistic cookies respect underlying faces.
  • Fontify item bullets (make them stand out)
  • Fontify item checkboxes (and when they're marked done), like TODOs that are marked done.
  • Fontify dividers/separators (5+ dashes)
  • Fontify #hashtags and @at-tags, for personal convenience; see doom-org-special-tags to disable this.

Complementary plugins

The following plugins complement our themes:

• To get dimmed sidebars and brighter source buffers (like in the screenshots), see solaire-mode.
• AnthonyDiGirolamo added doom-one (screenshot) and doom-molokai (screenshot) skins to airline-themes.
• The modeline in the screenshots is doom-modeline.

Customization

There are three ways to customize themes in this package:

1. Explore the available variables provided by our themes, starting with the ones provided for all packages:

   • doom-themes-enable-bold (default: t): if nil, disables bolding as much as possible (only affects faces that our theme supports; it won't catch them all).
   • doom-themes-enable-italic (default: t): if nil, disables italicization as much as possible (only affects faces that our theme supports; it won't catch them all).
   • doom-themes-padded-modeline (default: nil): if t, pad the mode-line in 4px on each side. Can also be set to an integer to specify the exact padding. or M-x customize-group RET doom-themes to explore them.

2. Use the custom-set-faces macro (Doom users should use custom-set-faces! instead) to customize any face. e.g.

;; Must be used *after* the theme is loaded
(custom-set-faces
  `(mode-line ((t (:background ,(doom-color 'dark-violet)))))
  `(font-lock-comment-face ((t (:foreground ,(doom-color 'base6))))))

3. Copy your favorite theme into your custom-theme-directory (normally ~/.emacs.d/, or ~/.doom.d/themes for Doom users), and tweak it there.
