About

Nimbus is a dark theme that I developed for my personal use. It's the only theme I ever use. I regularly add and modify faces and am always looking to support more third-party packages.

Nimbus was originally a fork of Ample.

Installing

Make sure you have set up MELPA and run:

M-x package-install RET nimbus-theme RET

Use M-x customize-themes to activate it, or put the following in your Emacs configuration file:

(load-theme 'nimbus t)

Or, if you have use-package:

(use-package nimbus-theme)

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with Nimbus (such as text faces being hard to read or not appearing as expected), please try the following:

1. Restart Emacs and make sure Nimbus is the first theme you enable. Switching custom themes midway through an Emacs session may cause artifacts from the previous theme to remain.
2. Leave a bug report on GitHub.
