Most likely -I was doing something wrong, or maybe it's just because I don't fully know how lisp or emacs works that's why it took me long -but I spent a good part of my evening trying to make even small changes to work. - -So, I have created this short tutorial to leave me (and others having problems) some notes on how to modify a Doom Emacs theme. -I'm using Doom Emacs which comes with the doom-themes packages doing some basic setup so we only need to define some variables and it -automatically applies other faces and stuff, and I'm pretty sure doom-themes can be installed on regular Emacs. - -## Overriding faces - -Each element in an emacs buffer has a "face" which defines its foreground/background color, font styling, etc. -You can do `M-x RET` `describe-char` or `describe-face` to get the face of the area under the cursor, or to get a -list of all the available faces (which is very long) - -The `custom-set-faces!` macro (or `custom-set-faces` for Emacs users) can be used to customize any face: - -``` lisp -(custom-set-faces! - '(default :background "#100b13") - '(cursor :background "#0ec685" :foreground) - '(line-number :slant normal :background "#100b13") - '(line-number-current-line :slant normal :background "#21242b")) -``` - -You can add something like this to your `~/.doom.d/config.el` - -## Using a doom theme as a template - -Another way to modify your Doom theme is to use an existing theme as a template (or, starting from bottom up!) -and modifying it. - -### How to modify an existing theme: - -1. Go to [this page](https://github.com/doomemacs/themes) and choose any theme you like, and download the raw file into -`~/.doom.d/themes/<theme-name>-theme.el`. The theme name can be anything, but make sure it ends with "-theme.el" -or Doom won't recognise it as a theme. - -2. Open the theme in your favourite text editor (I wonder which one it is) and edit the line that says `(def-doom-theme <theme-name>` -and replace `<theme-name>` with any name you like, make sure not to use the original name (or the name of any other theme that already exists on your system) or it would create a clash. -Now, edit the theme to your liking and you're good to go! - -3. Open a new Doom Emacs frame and enter `SPC h t t` and select your new theme! - |
