The newest release is at the top.

The other is +~rcirc~, which the Ef themes have supported for a long time. + +All ERC buffers should now be consistent with the themes. + +Note that in the interest of simplicity I am not covering the niche +feature of IRC to pass hardcoded colour values to some input. Those +will not be consistent with the themes and it is up to the user to +pick a legible colour combination (or, you know, just keep it simple). + +** Better colours for the ~ztree~ package +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:856d4c3d-63c0-4d0d-80f8-fcc1e698d199 +:END: + +With ~ztree~ the user can check the differences between two +directories. All relevant colour-coding is now consistent with the Ef +themes and will use the palette mappings of the active theme. + +** Support for the built-in ~window-divider-mode~ +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:61eb251e-5da9-4b8b-923f-03c365bc0f1e +:END: + +This mode controls the style of window dividers. Those now are using a +grey value instead of the one applied to the main foreground. In other +words, they are more subtle. + +** The ~highlight-indentation~ package is covered +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:0d754e33-5c05-45e1-ac5f-12061e7f6728 +:END: + +Thanks to Oleksii (Alex) Koval for the contribution. This was done in +pull request 38: <https://github.com/protesilaos/ef-themes/pull/38>. +The change is well below the ~15 line limit, meaning that Oleksii does +not need to assign copyright to the Free Software Foundation. + +** Some active region background colours are a bit more prominent +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:f1836222-afe6-478d-8cc7-bbf849c75066 +:END: + +The active region background colour of the ~ef-autumn~, ~ef-night~, +~ef-symbiosis~, and ~ef-tritanopia-dark~ themes is slightly more +noticeable now. Before is was too subtle and thus hard to spot in some +scenaria. + +** An easier to spot magenta value for ~ef-tritanopia-dark~ +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:eff45ce7-d21c-42cf-8a89-19a656705925 +:END: + +Due to the requirements of blue-yellow colour deficiency (tritanomaly +or tritanopia), this theme uses a more restricted set of colours, with +carefully picked shades of magenta representing a neutral midpoint +between red and cyan. One of the magenta values that was used in many +parts of this theme is now recalibrated to better perform its function +as a third and finer accent in relevant interfaces. + +** Refined colours for colour-coded backgrounds in dark themes +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:80c7b4b1-0b25-45a0-98bc-8d6c33b06170 +:END: + +In many interfaces the themes apply colour-coded styles to communicate +meaning. For example, in Dired buffers items that are flagged for +deletion have a red background while those that are merely selected +use a green hue (deuteranopia and tritanopia themes have different +colour-coding schemes). In almost all the dark Ef themes, the +applicable values are now slightly more intense to (i) better +complement the foreground they are combined with and (ii) perform +their intended function of providing visual feedback. + +** The ~gnus-button~ face is no longer underlined +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:8be4d951-3a2e-4e01-b0dd-dfec44d0d8a8 +:END: + +This is because it applies in places where an underline is either +misleadingly styled like a link or is the kind of extra emphasis we do +not need (one of my design principles is to avoid exaggerations). + +** The ~message-separator~ has a less intense background +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:0b184e13-d1c4-4b77-9717-10366f58c905 +:END: + +This is about the text found in message/email composition buffers that +separates the headers from the body and by default reads =--text +follows this line--=. Its grey background is more subtle now and +remains easy to spot without being needlessly intense. + +** The ~org-document-info-keyword~ inherits ~ef-themes-fixed-pitch~ +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:7ead15d9-ac66-4c41-a1d0-6ea99cb6dc84 +:END: + +This means that the text is rendered in a monospaced font if the user +option ~ef-themes-mixed-fonts~ is set to a non-nil value. + +** Semantic mappings for terminals +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:006436a1-638c-4aa8-ac38-654a246eda3f +:END: + +The Ef themes do not hardcode colour values. Instead, they define +named colours and semantic mappings. The latter are applied to all the +relevant faces. The user can thus override the palette to apply +changes across the supported packages. The manual explains the +technicalities. + +To extend this facility, all Ef themes now include semantic mappings +that are used by terminals or anything that reads ANSI escape +sequences. Most users should not have to touch these, but those who +want to do it can either use the ~ef-themes-common-palette-overrides~ +or the equivalent user option of each individual theme (e.g. +~ef-summer-palette-overrides~). + +The commands ~ef-themes-preview-colors~ and ~ef-themes-preview-colors-current~ +are relevant to identify the names of the mappings or colours +to-be-overridden. + +** The code underpinning the ~ef-themes-heading~ user option is improved +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: h:d1b4cd8c-9b33-455b-ae31-ae64de80d2ae +:END: + +Thanks to Gautier Ponsinet for porting the implementation from my +~modus-themes~ (I thought I had done it long ago). Gautier's +contribution was sent to me as a patch via email. + * Version 1.5.0 on 2024-01-11 :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h:1f0bf8f2-8ed3-48d0-b6a8-725eccf579ff @@ -1094,7 +1239,8 @@ with/without overrides and when recursive mappings are introduced. ;; Ignore the overrides and get the original value.
