Emacs Theme: Tomorrow Night Deepblue, a beautiful theme with a deep blue background

License

The Tomorrow Night Deepblue Emacs theme is a beautiful deep blue variant of the Tomorrow Night theme, which is renowned for its elegant color palette that is pleasing to the eyes.

The Tomorrow Night Deepblue theme features a deep blue background color that creates a calming atmosphere. The theme is also a great choice for those who miss the blue themes that were trendy a few years ago.

The theme was inspired by classic text editors such as QuickBASIC, RHIDE, and Turbo Pascal, as well as tools such as Midnight Commander which featured blue backgrounds by default. There’s something special about the early days of programming and the tools we used that brings back fond memories.

Installation

To install tomorrow-night-deepblue-theme from MELPA:

If you haven’t already done so, add MELPA repository to your Emacs configuration.
Add the following code to your Emacs init file to install tomorrow-night-deepblue from MELPA:

(use-package tomorrow-night-deepblue-theme
  :config
  (let ((inhibit-redisplay t))
    ;; Disable all active themes
    (mapc #'disable-theme custom-enabled-themes)
    ;; Load the tomorrow-night-deepblue theme
    (load-theme 'tomorrow-night-deepblue t)))

What are the differences between Tomorrow Night Blue and Deepblue themes?

The main differences lie in the background and a large number of additional faces, which enable support for many more modern Emacs packages. Currently, Tomorrow Night Deepblue supports over 1,170 faces (compared to 333 in the original version), featuring a background color reminiscent of classic editors. The author plans to make further changes to support even more faces. Contributions are welcome!

The background is also different. Here is the background color of the Tomorrow Night Deepblue:

enhanced-evil-paredit.el: An Emacs package that prevents parenthesis imbalance when using evil-mode with paredit. It intercepts evil-mode commands such as delete, change, and paste, blocking their execution if they would break the parenthetical structure.
stripspace.el: Ensure Emacs Automatically removes trailing whitespace before saving a buffer, with an option to preserve the cursor column.
persist-text-scale.el: Ensure that all adjustments made with text-scale-increase and text-scale-decrease are persisted and restored across sessions.
pathaction.el: Execute the pathaction command-line tool from Emacs. The pathaction command-line tool enables the execution of specific commands on targeted files or directories. Its key advantage lies in its flexibility, allowing users to handle various types of files simply by passing the file or directory as an argument to the pathaction tool. The tool uses a .pathaction.yaml rule-set file to determine which command to execute. Additionally, Jinja2 templating can be employed in the rule-set file to further customize the commands.
kirigami.el: The kirigami Emacs package offers a unified interface for opening and closing folds across a diverse set of major and minor modes in Emacs, including outline-mode, outline-minor-mode, outline-indent-minor-mode, org-mode, markdown-mode, vdiff-mode, vdiff-3way-mode, hs-minor-mode, hide-ifdef-mode, origami-mode, yafolding-mode, folding-mode, and treesit-fold-mode. With Kirigami, folding key bindings only need to be configured once. After that, the same keys work consistently across all supported major and minor modes, providing a unified and predictable folding experience.
buffer-guardian.el: Automatically saves Emacs buffers without requiring manual intervention. By default, it triggers a save when the user switches to another buffer, switches to another window or frame, Emacs loses focus, or the minibuffer is opened. Beyond standard file buffers, buffer-guardian also manages specialized editing buffers such as org-src and edit-indirect. Additional features, disabled by default, include periodic or idle-time saving of all buffers, automatic exclusion of remote, nonexistent, or large files, and support for custom exclusion rules via regular expressions or predicate functions.

Vim: Tango color scheme for Vim’s built-in Terminal

The following code snippet will allow you to apply the Tango Dark color scheme to the Vim’s built-in terminal and ensure that the terminal’s color scheme remains consistent, even if you change the Vim color scheme with the ‘:colorscheme’ command.

The snippet uses autocmd to ensures that the Vim terminal’s color scheme remains Tango Dark.
