  • Sunburn Theme for Emacs and iTerm2 ** Overview This is a low-contrast theme for Emacs and iTerm2. After using Zenburn for several years, I decided I wanted something a bit different, but in the same spirit, so I went looking for colors I liked. I've always liked the palette of old Sun workstations and boxes, combining shades of gray and purple.

Turns out, they don't work very well for text, but they did provide a starting point for exploration. The main palette for this theme looks like this:

#+NAME: fig:palette #+CAPTION: Sunburn palette #+ATTR_ORG: :width 60 #+ATTR_HTML: :width 60px [[file:./img/palette.png]]

In use, it looks like this:

#+NAME: fig:screen1 #+CAPTION: Org-mode / Clojure #+ATTR_ORG: :width 1200 #+ATTR_HTML: :width 1200px [[file:./img/screen1.png]]

#+NAME: fig:screen2 #+CAPTION: Emacs lisp / LaTeX #+ATTR_ORG: :width 1200 #+ATTR_HTML: :width 1200px [[file:./img/screen2.png]]

Since I also use iTerm2 quite a bit, I did a port of the theme to it.

#+NAME: fig:iterm #+CAPTION: iTerm2 #+ATTR_ORG: :width 970 #+ATTR_HTML: :width 970px [[file:./img/iterm.png]]

** Installation

For iTerm, simply import the theme from the drop-down in the =Preferences → Profiles → Colors= pane.

On Emacs, you can install it either from MELPA, or alternatively:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports code :results silent (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "path/where/you/put/the/theme/") (load-theme 'sunburn) #+END_SRC
