desert-theme

A warm, earthy Emacs port of the classic desert colorscheme from Vim.

It aims to preserve the feel of the original:

• dark warm-gray background
• golden/yellow comments
• soft greens for strings
• sandy/orange accents for variables and constants
• gentle blue for function names and types

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "/path/to/desert-theme")
(load-theme 'desert t)

Requirements

Emacs 27.1 or newer (the theme uses the :extend face attribute).

Development

This package uses Eask for building and linting. CI verifies that the theme byte-compiles and passes checkdoc and package-lint on Emacs 27.1 through 30.1.

eask install-deps
eask compile        # byte-compile (warnings are errors)
eask lint checkdoc
eask lint package   # package-lint
