Darkokai 🌑

A dark variant of oneKelvinSmith’s Monokai port for Emacs. This came about as I had an ever-growing unorganised list of overrides and tweaks on Monokai which eventually began to emerge into its own style.

Installation

MELPA (package.el)

Darkokai has been merged into MELPA and should appear in your package-list-packages pretty soon. You can install it with M-x package-install darkokai-theme, and load it on startup by placing this in your init file:

(load-theme 'darkokai t)

use-package

With MELPA configured in your package-archives:

(use-package darkokai-theme
  :ensure t
  :config (load-theme 'darkokai t))

Manual

Place darkokai-theme.el in your custom-theme-load-path and load on init. For example:

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

Notes

To disable the padded mode-line and use the normal mode-line look:

(setq darkokai-mode-line-padding 1) ;; Default mode-line box width
(load-theme 'darkokai t)

Terminal support is there, but some of the base terminal colours still need to be updated to match the GUI colours. If the colours look particularly bad in terminal, make sure you’re using a 256 color term by adding the following to your .zshrc or .bashrc:

export TERM=xterm-256color
