use-theme

A thin wrapper arround use-package to simplify theme management. I wanted an easy solution to avoid clutering my config with theme infrastructure code.

theme style management

You can associate theme to a style by setting the use-theme-styles variable:

(customize-set-variable 'use-theme-styles '((dark . darker-theme-it-is) (light . a-lighter-one)))

You can then switch between themes using use-theme-switch or use-theme-toggle.

use-package integration

(use-package use-theme :load-path "path/to/use-theme")
(use-theme nord
 :style dark
 :custom-face '(show-paren-match-expression ((t (:background "#434C5E")))))
(use-theme apropospriate
 :name apropospriate-light
 :style light
 :custom-face '(show-paren-match-expression ((t (:background "#F5F5FC")))))

This does multiple things. It first does calls the common use-package mechanics to install and load the theme package. It also automatically adds the "-theme" suffix. Most keywords argument are passed as is to the use-package macro.

It then ensures that the custome-safe-themes variable is updated with the theme's sha256.

It also ensures that the first used theme will be loaded correctly even when running emacs as a daemon.

The :style keyword associate a style to the theme. You can then switch between themes using use-theme-switch or use-theme-toggle. It will also ensure that the custom faces are updated when switching between themes.
