In a nice coda to my recent recent post on the Poet Theme, Kunal Bhalla has published a post, Making Poet, an Emacs theme, on how he developed the theme and added monochrome and dark versions of it. Because he didn’t want to have to support the new versions, he generates them automatically from color tables for each version. Take a look at his post for the details.
If you liked the Poet theme, you will probably enjoy reading Bhalla’s explanation of what went into it. Bhalla gave a lot of thought to and spent a lot of time on the project and it shows. It’s a beautiful theme and definitely worth your consideration if you’re looking for something new.
