https://melpa.org/packages/poet-theme-badge.svg

An emacs theme that’s well suited for prose: particularly org-mode and markdown-mode; or any mode that works well with variable-pitch mode.

Motivation

The theme makes Emacs more friendly for writing prose instead of code. Highlights include mixing monospace and variable pitch text in markdown and org-modes, making it convenient to write prose and code together.

I wrote about building poet at https://explog.in/notes/poet.html.

Screenshots

Set up

  • Installation:
  • Variable-pitch-mode: Adding variable pitch mode to text modes will help in rendering mixed fonts every time you edit markdown, org-mode, etc.
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
           (lambda ()
            (variable-pitch-mode 1)))
  • Custom fonts: Choose your fonts/font sizes before loading the theme with
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "DejaVu Sans Mono" :height 130)
(set-face-attribute 'fixed-pitch nil :family "DejaVu Sans Mono")
(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family "IBM Plex Serif")
  • Mac OSX Title Bar: (Only for *Emacs 26.1*+)
(add-to-list
  'default-frame-alist'(ns-transparent-titlebar . t))
(add-to-list
  'default-frame-alist'(ns-appearance . light))
