## Summary:
# Ef (εὖ) themes for GNU Emacs
IMAGES HERE: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/ef-themes-pictures>.
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).

Version 1.0.0 on 2023-05-16
═══════════════════════════
This is the first major release of the `ef-themes'. The project is in
a stable state. I continue to make refinements to it, especially for
the sort of details that are hard to spot.
Try the two new themes
──────────────────────
The `ef-kassio' and `ef-symbiosis' provide yet more stylistic
variation to an already wide collection:
• `ef-kassio' is a light theme that harmoniously combines blue and red
hues in an overall design that feels earthly and measured. Its name
is a cryptic reference to a place in Greece.
• `ef-symbiosis' is a dark theme that balances contrasting cool and
warm hues. Deep and lighter browns blend with vivid greens and
neutral blues. The name of the theme is a reference to the
coexistence of hues that could belong to two separate themes, yet
feel natural in tandem.

Commands to switch between only dark or light themes
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The `ef-themes-select-dark' and `ef-themes-select-light' provide
minibuffer completion that limits the candidates to the respective
subset. This makes it easier for users to discover another theme they
may like.
Helpful completion annotations
──────────────────────────────
All Ef commands that use minibuffer completion now produce annotations
that describe in a few words what each theme is about. For example,
`ef-deuteranopia-dark' is presented as a "Legible dark theme,
optimized for red-green color deficiency".
Palette overrides
─────────────────
All variables that allow the user to override named colours and
semantic colour mappings are now declared as user options.
Concretely, these can now be discovered from the Custom interface.
Palette overrides are not new to this version, though they are
henceforth considered stable for widespread use. Consult the manual
for how to make use of them and how to preview the entries of any
given theme palette.
To ensure consistency, some symbols in the palette have been renamed.
For example, graph colours follow the pattern `bg-graph-red-0' instead
of `red-graph-0-bg'. Same for intensely coloured backgrounds, which
are now named like `bg-red-intense' rather than `bg-red'.
Improved graph colours
──────────────────────
All themes have a refined palette subset for graph-related purposes.
These are encountered, for example, in the `org-habit' consistency
graph. The differences are subtle, yet important in context to
improve the usability of the given interfaces.
Improved graph colours for deuteranopia, tritanopia
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
I also recalibrated the graph-related colours for the deuteranopia-
and tritanopia- optimized themes. This is related to the above, but I
am writing it separately as it has its own requirements.
The default design of `org-habit' expects a colour coding of red,
yellow, green, blue. This cannot work for users with either red-green
or blue-yellow colour deficiency. The relevant Ef themes have long
accounted for this requirement, though they now are even better at it.
Support for new faces and changes to existing ones
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
• Newly supported packages are: `jinx', `rst-mode', `vundo', `vterm'.
Consult the manual for the full list of supported packages. Some
packages are implicitly covered, because they have reasonable
defaults, such as my `sxhkdrc-mode'.
• The built-in `menu', `scroll-bar', and `tool-bar' faces are now
covered. These only come into effect in certain scenaria, such as
an Emacs build done with the Lucid toolkit or a text session that
involves usage of the menu bar.
• The built-in `flymake' linter has several new faces in Emacs 29 and
Emacs 30, which are now fully supported by the themes and styled in
