The theme has some options that can be tweaked via M-x customize:
madhat2r-theme-org-agenda-height- This toggles the use of varying org agenda heights.
madhat2r-theme-org-height- This toggles the use of varying org headings heights.
madhat2r-theme-custom-colors- This allows for specifying a list of custom colors to override madhat2r
theme colors. More details in the next section.
The theme can be customized by overriding one of the theme local variables by
setting a list in the madhat2r-theme-custom-colors variable. Here’s a list of
all the local variables and roles:
Note: all these variables have a term counter part which effects the terminal
version of this theme. These vars are suffixed with -term so for example if
you want to change the background on the terminal you would use bg1-term.
| var | role |
|---|---|
| act1 | One of mode-line’s active colors. |
| act2 | The other active color of mode-line. |
| base | The basic color of normal text. |
| base-dim | A dimmer version of the normal text color. |
| bg1 | The background color. |
| bg2 | A darker background color. Used to highlight current line. |
| bg3 | Yet another darker shade of the background color. |
| bg4 | The darkest background color. |
| border | A border line color. Used in mode-line borders. |
| cblk | A code block color. Used in org’s code blocks. |
| cblk-bg | The background color of a code block. |
| cblk-ln | A code block header line. |
| cblk-ln-bg | The background of a code block header line. |
| cursor | The cursor/point color. |
| const | A constant. |
| comment | A comment. |
| comment-bg | This adds contrast to comments in certain modes. Does not effect in-code comments. |
| comp | A complementary color. |
| err | errors. |
| func | functions. |
| head1 | Level 1 of a heading. Used in org’s/markdown headings and other various places. |
| head2 | Level 2 headings. |
| head3 | Level 3 headings. |
| head4 | Level 4 headings. |
| highlight | A highlighted area. |
| highlight-dim | A dimmer highlighted area. |
| keyword | A keyword or a builtin color. |
| lnum | Line numbers. |

There is also explicit colors variables that can be customized: (these also have a -term version)
- aqua
- aqua-bg
- green
- green-bg
- green-bg-s
- cyan
- red
- red-bg
- red-bg-s
- blue
- blue-bg
- violet
- yellow
- yellow-bg
The green and red colors have two background versions. The green-bg and
red-bg are normal light background colors. The green-bg-s and red-bg-s are
a stronger version and are used in ediff and places were text is added or
deleted.
To override colors, add this to your init.el file
(custom-set-variables '(madhat2r-theme-custom-colors
'((act1 . "#ff0000")
(act1-term . "#000aff")
(act2 . "#0000ff")
(act2-term . "#a000ff")
(base . "#ffffff"))))This will override act1, act1 and base to use the specified colors; and
the -term versions will effect the terminal version.
In order for terminal version to look good, use the following colors. There is also matching colors for LS.
Add to your termite config file.

export LS_COLORSI used the wonderful spacemacs-theme by nashamri as the skeleton for this theme. If you want to see examples of what the customization vars look like in action, nashamri has wonderfully illustrated graphics showing exactly what most colors apply to.
Also, you really should give his theme a try, it is wonderfully crafted.
