These are my minimalist themes. They use few colours and will appearmostly monochromatic in many contexts. Styles involve the careful useof typography, such as italics and bold italics.If you want maximalist themes in terms of colour, check my ef-themespackage. For something in-between, which I would consider the best“default theme” for a text editor, opt for my modus-themes. Package name (GNU ELPA): doric-themes Sample pictures: https://protesilaos.com/emacs/doric-themes-pictures Git repository: https://github.com/protesilaos/doric-themes Backronym: Doric Only Really Intensifies Conservatively … themes.Below are the release notes.Version 0.2.0 on 2025-07-05This version introduces several refinements to the individual themescomprising the Doric themes collection. Changes pertain to theintensity of colours in use. While each tweak is small, theircumulative effect contributes to a more consistent design.Users who are interested in the contrast ratio values and relevantcolour distance can refer to the contrasts.org file that is part ofthe project’s Git repository: https://github.com/protesilaos/doric-themes.I extended support for several faces or face groups including: ace-window dictionary embark-keybinding man markdown-metadata-key-face package-mark-delete-line package-mark-install-line read-multiple-choice-face rcirc spacious-padding textsec-suspicious which-key-key-face womanSome other faces that were already covered are revised in the interestof theme-wide consistency. Again, changes are subtle.The colour of the directory icons in all-the-icons and nerd-iconspackages is toned down a little bit to avoid exaggerations.Several spacing-sensitive faces, like Org tables and code blocks,unconditionally inherit the fixed-pitch face. This means that, inprinciple, they are rendered in a monospaced font even when the useractivates variable-pitch-mode or sets the default face to aproportionately spaced typeface. Users who need to specify theapplicable font family can either use the following, mutatis mutandis,or take a look at my fontaine package:(set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "Aporetic Sans Mono" :height 160)(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family "Aporetic Sans" :height 1.0)(set-face-attribute 'fixed-pitch nil :family "Aporetic Sans Mono" :height 1.0)Other theme packages of mine have an option for “mixed fonts” (likemodus-themes-mixed-fonts), but I think I will not be providingoptions for the Doric themes. At least not for the time being while Iexplore the design space for minimalist themes.
