Emacs: ef-themes version 2.2.0
The ef-themes are a collection of light and dark themes for GNU
Emacs that provide colourful (“pretty”) yet legible options for users
who want something with a bit more flair than the modus-themes (also
designed by me).

Version 2.2.0 on 2026-06-21
This version contains two new themes and several stylistic refinements to existing items in the collection.
Enjoy ef-arcadia and ef-atlantis themes
ef-arcadia is a light theme with a green, humid feel. ef-atlantis
is a dark theme with aquatic colours.
Improved style for company and corfu popups
I have revised the colour that each theme applies to the popup background. It should now be more consistent with all other elements on display.
Thanks to aikrahguzar for suggesting a review in issue 70: https://github.com/protesilaos/ef-themes/issues/70.
The current line highlight for completions is easier to spot
This is the background of the selected candidate in the minibuffer
while using the vertico package (among other similar interfaces).
The colours I am now using are more consistent with their context and
also work better as part of a popup completion interface, as noted
above.
Palette refinements for several themes
I have made subtle changes to a few colour values. These are fine details. The overarching goal is to be consistent throughout.
