Tron Legacy Emacs Theme


Maintenance GPL License Version Awesome


Inspired by Base16-Black-Metal, Grayscale and City Lights.

Installing the theme:

Installation Method 1: MELPA (Recommended)

tron-legacy-theme is now on MELPA as a package (as of 1. June. 2020)! An example use-package declaration:

(use-package tron-legacy-theme
  :config
  (load-theme 'tron-legacy t))

If you want to invoke some customization options (more info see below), you should set them "before" you load the theme, like so:

(use-package tron-legacy-theme
  :config
  (setq tron-legacy-theme-vivid-cursor t)
  (load-theme 'tron-legacy t))

Installation Method 2: manual install

Download tron-legacy-theme.el and put it under ~/.emacs.d/themes/ (or ~/.config/emacs/themes/), then add these lines to your init.el:

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/themes/")
; or
(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.config/emacs/themes/")

(load-theme 'tron-legacy t)

Customization options:

  1. Setting tron-legacy-theme-dark-fg-bright-comments to t causes the foreground to be dimmed and comments to be brighter. The default value is nil.
(setq tron-legacy-theme-dark-fg-bright-comments t)
  1. Setting tron-legacy-theme-vivid-cursor to t changes the cursor color to bright golden, making it easier to spot.
(setq tron-legacy-theme-vivid-cursor t)
  1. Setting tron-legacy-theme-softer-bg to t changes the background color to a dark gunmetal grey, instead of the default pure black.
(setq tron-legacy-theme-softer-bg t)
