;;; Commentary:
;;
;; The `ef-themes' are a collection of light and dark themes for GNU
;; Emacs whose goal is to provide colorful ("pretty") yet legible
;; options for users who want something with a bit more flair than the
;; `modus-themes' (also designed by me).
;;
;; "Ef" is a Greek word (ευ), commonly used as a prefix to denote
;; something good, nice, and/or easy.  For example, eftopia (ευτοπία)
;; is the opposite of dystopia (δυστοπία): a good place as opposed to
;; a bad place.
;;
;; The backronym of the `ef-themes' is: Eclectic Fashion in Themes
;; Hides Exaggerated Markings, Embellishments, and Sparkles.

Modus commands that operate on a theme only consider Ef themes, enable the

and Modus into a single group, enable `modus-themes-include-derivatives-mode'."
