Emacs: my GNOME accent color theme switcher package

Hello everyone, my name is Proilos, also known as Pro. In this video, I want to demonstrate a new package that I have written for GNU Emacs. This one will synchronize your Emacs theme with the choice of accent color and light or dark mode that you specify in the Gnome settings. This is specifically for the Gnome desktop environment that we normally find on uh Linux distributions. So let me show you how it is. I have over here my Emacs and here are the Gnome settings uh where there is the appearance tab and under this tab I can select between a light and the dark mode and then the choice of accent color. So let me just demonstrate. I will go from this teal color to yellow. And I see that my Emacs theme has adapted accordingly. I will go to pink for example. And another theme has been loaded. The themes that are loaded here are at random. Meaning that if I uh switch between the colors, you see now I get a different pink theme. It's not the same as before. And you see how it will uh go and it will switch between uh the colors that uh are here. And for each color here there are themes defined. Uh there is a user option that I have provided. By default it covers all my theme packages. But of course it's a user option. So you can define any theme you want. You can see here uh the data structure. Uh these colors come from Gnome. So I have mapped them here the same way they appear in the Gnome settings and then grouped by light or dark. Let me show you the light variations. So I will now click on the light themes here. So if your brightness is high and you are in a dark room, uh please adjust your monitor settings and I give you a second and I will do it now. So doing it now light theme. So you will see that it switched to a light theme here. Let's go from blue to um orange. For example, we see here a nice orange theme. Let's go to pink. And it switches to a pink theme. How about purple? And we have purple. What about the green color? You get the idea. No need to belabor the point. Uh this is the package. I will publish it now on my GitHub account. And I have written a small read me here. And there is um the sample configuration that you need to include in your EMAC uh init file. And that's it. You are good to go. Thank you very much for your attention folks. Take care and goodbye for now.
