Full description

This is the emacs port of the vague theme built on top of Modus themes.

As described in the primary vague theme repo:

A cool, dark, low contrast colorscheme. Pastel yet vivid, like a fleeting memory…

Note:

I ported this theme for emacs for personal use. As such, the current state of the theme serves most of my needs.

Since it builds up on Modus themes, most of the font-faces should work. If not, please open an issue on the issue tracker.

(use-package modus-vague
  :vc (:url "https://github.com/paniash/modus-vague"
       :rev :newest
       :branch "main")
  :config
  (modus-themes-load-theme 'modus-vague))

2.2. With `use-package` and `straight.el`

(use-package modus-vague
  :straight (modus-vague :host github
                         :repo "paniash/modus-vague"
                         :branch "main")
  :config
  (modus-themes-load-theme 'modus-vague))

2.3. Manual Installation

Clone the git repository into a directory (say ~/.emacs.d/themes/):

git clone https://github.com/paniash/modus-vague ~/.emacs.d/themes/modus-vague

Add the following to your init.el:

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/themes/modus-vague")
(load-theme 'modus-vague t)

Since this theme builds on top of modus themes, one can use the same customization options that modus themes provide.
