The future was cooler in the 80's.

Rebecca is a dark emacs theme with purple/violet colors.

Works best with this soundtrack and Liam Wong's photos as background.

Installation

With Spacemacs

Rebecca is now included in spacemacs' theme-megapack.

To set it as default just add it to the top of themes preference on your ~/.spacemacs file:

dotspacemacs-themes '(
   rebecca
)

Or activate it using the theme switcher:

SPC T s rebecca [RET]

From MELPA

M-x package-install [RET] rebecca-theme [RET]
M-x load-theme [RET] rebecca [RET]

Manually

put rebecca-theme.el in either the custom-theme-directory or load-path.

You can apply the theme via M-x customize-themes, or make it the default by adding the following to your Emacs configuration:

   (load-theme #'rebecca t)

Term color scheme

The Rebecca color scheme has been ported to iterm2 and many other terminals.

Also, some base16-rebecca iterm colors can be found here

Emacs terminal 24bit colors

For getting the best experience on terminal, I'd recommend to use an emacs patched with 24bit color support.
