This theme is intended to be used for distraction-free writing (and coding) in
spacemacs, together with the
distraction-free layer for
Spacemacs. It is heavily inspired by the colour scheme of iA Writer (which is
unfortunately not available for Linux). The was originally based on the
monochrome theme.
To use the theme, place distraction-free-theme into
~/.emacs.d/private/themes/distraction-free-theme. This path has then to be
added to the 'dotspacemacs/user-init' function in your '~/.spacemacs':
(defun dotspacemacs/user-init ()
(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/private/themes/"))
The theme can be loaded by using the theme selector (SPC T s) in Spacemacs. A
faster way to switch the theme consists in placing distraction-free as one of
two themes into the dotspacemacs-themes list in your ~/.spacemacs, e.g.
dotspacemacs-themes '(spacemacs-dark
distraction-free)
In newer version of spacemacs, emacs will try to download the theme from MELPA.
The only way that has worked consistently, is to add the package to the list of
excluded packages in your ~/.spacemacs. If you have a better solution that
works, let me know.
dotspacemacs-excluded-packages '(
distraction-free-theme
)
The theme may then be switched to with SPC T n.
To prevent the cursor from changing colour, adjust your ~/.spacemacs:
dotspacemacs-colorize-cursor-according-to-state nil
When used with the
distraction-free layer for
Spacemacs, the distraction-free-focus function allow to focus on the current
line only. The adjusments to colours and highlighting are theme-specific and
thus provided by the functions distraction-free-focus-on and
distraction-free-focus-off directly within the theme.
Yes, of course you can! I do so myself and optimized the appearance for R, python and SQL. Other languages might require additional tweaks.
