Version 1.1.0 on 2022-12-06
═══════════════════════════
The `standard-themes-headings' now covers the Org agenda
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The user option `standard-themes-headings' lets the user control the
height, weight, and use of proportionately spaced fonts
(`variable-pitch') on a per-heading basis. Different combinations are
possible, as explained in the option's doc string on the corresponding
entry in the manual.
I have now made it possible to specify the `agenda-date' and
`agenda-structure' keys. Both pertain to the Org agenda. The former
applies to date headings, while the latter styles the headings of each
"block" of content. In a generic agenda buffer, that block heading is
the first line which reads `Week-agenda (W49):' or something like
that, though we find such headings in more places as well.
Here is a sample with various stylistic variants per heading:
┌────
│ (setq standard-themes-headings ; read the manual's entry or the doc string
│ '((0 . (variable-pitch light 1.9))
│ (1 . (variable-pitch light 1.8))
│ (2 . (semilight 1.7))
│ (3 . (semilight 1.6))
│ (4 . (1.5)) ; absence of weight means "regular"
│ (5 . (1.4))
│ (6 . (bold 1.3))
│ (7 . (bold 1.2))
│ (agenda-date . (semilight 1.5))
│ (agenda-structure . (variable-pitch light 1.9))
│ (t . (variable-pitch 1.1))))
└────
Note that Org re-uses heading levels past 8. This means that level 9
will look the same as level 1. This is not the theme's doing. Check
the user options `org-level-faces', `org-n-level-faces' for ways to
change this.
`M-x theme-choose-variant' works as expected
────────────────────────────────────────────
Users of Emacs 29 have access to the command `theme-choose-variant':
it toggles between two themes of the same family. If the family has
more members, it uses minibuffer completion instead.
I registered the appropriate theme properties to make this work as
intended. However, it is still possible to use the command
`standard-themes-toggle'.
Stylistic refinements
─────────────────────
⁃ Simplified the Magit blame faces to avoid exaggerations.
⁃ Revised the colours of day headings in the `M-x calendar' buffer.
Weekends stand out, as is the case with physical calendars and many
established apps.
⁃ Made the `edmacro-label' face stand out in its context. Otherwise
it was difficult to spot. This is for Emacs 29 and applies to
headings in the keyboard macro editing buffer (e.g. with `C-x C-k
C-e' (`kmacro-edit-macro-repeat')).
⁃ Added support for the `powerline' package.
