I’ve released an Emacs color theme that is easy on my colorblind eyes. It is up on github: http://github.com/zhannes/emacs-colorblind-theme. Small screenshot below, you can view the full Screenshot here.
My theme is based on Oleg Shaldybin’s Railscasts color theme, a Textmate theme that he ported to Emacs.
To use the colorblind theme, you need to download two items: 1) the colorblind theme http://github.com/zhannes/emacs-colorblind-theme, 2) the emacs color theme package: http://www.nongnu.org/color-theme/#sec5.
Once you have 2) the color theme package downloaded, place it somewhere near your other emacs plugins/add-ons. In 1) the colorblind theme files is a file called color-theme-colorblind.el. This is the file with the settings for the theme. Place the color-theme-colorblind.el file into inside the color theme directory. For my setup, I have a directory called:
/themes
inside the color themes package directory. So the full path on my system is:
~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/emacs_includes/plugins/color-theme-6.6.0/themes/color-theme-colorblind.el
Now you need to tell emacs about the color theme package and more specifically which color theme you want to active. So add the following to your emacs initialization file or .emacs file:
(require 'color-theme) (color-theme-initialize) (load-file "~/PATH_TO_FILE/color-theme-colorblind.el") (color-theme-colorblind)
