4 years ago

Release Date: 2020-01-08

Feature

Support for ivy-mode — #85 ⇄ #87 (⊶ d59f37c9) by @jdek ↠ Added support for the ivy-mode of the ivy package. It makes use of background to foreground color shading as main accent to highlight matches.

Migrate deprecated show-paren-X-face faces — #75 ⇄ #89 (⊶ a2b90386) by @janusvm ↠ The show-paren-match-face and show-paren-mismatch-face face are deprecated since Emacs version 22.1 and were removed in Emacs 25. To provide compatibility to later Emacs version, the new show-paren-match and show-paren-mismatch faces have been added.

The deprecated faces will be removed later on, but for now its totally fine for both faces to co-exist to support Emacs versions <22.1 as well as >=22.1.

Support Cider evaluation result in terminal — #70 ⇄ #71 (⊶ 995d8421) by @fmnoise ↠ Added support for evaluation result highlighting of the Cider package. When running in Emacs GUI mode through iTerm2 on macOS, the background and font color in the evaluation result overlay were the same (or very similar) color so it became unreadable. Probably that's because of the defined cider-result-overlay-face face and a difference in the rendering engine of iTerm2.

Before

To prevent this problem, the background color has been removed by using the unspecified keyword for the :background attribute.

Improvements

Different colors for Org-Mode headings — #81 (⊶ e095a86a) by @C0DK ↠ The different Org-Mode headings are now using the whole Nord's Frost color palette instead of only using nord8.

Before

After

Use display-color-cells to enable 24-bit color terminal support — #59 ⇄ #64, #88 (⊶ a66c1202) by @visigoth ↠ In order to fix the „unable to load color X” errors when running Emacs in daemon-mode, the defined theme colors are now tested against the display-color-cells „display feature testing“ function to support 24-bit color terminals with a fallback to the display-graphic-p function. This is a first step to fix the problems described and tracked in #59.

Bug Fixes

Superfluous brace character introduced in #81 — #82 (⊶ 2fc8fe41) by @rien333 ↠ Removed a superfluous brace character (introduced in #81) that caused the theme fail to load.

Uniform Mode Lines Customization — #32, #47 ⇄ #48 (⊶ 6b801715) requested by @localredhead ↠ Added the new theme configuration variable nord-uniform-mode-lines to use nord3 as background color highlighting for both active and inactive mode lines. By default, only the mode line of the active buffer uses nord3 as background color while inactive buffers are dimmed using nord1.

(setq nord-uniform-mode-lines t)

Custom Region Highlight Styles — #45, #32 ⇄ #46 (⊶ b43a2491) ↠ By default, Nord Emacs uses nord2 as background color for selected text in the editor to provide a sane default style. To use a more colorful highlighting for region selections, Nord Emacs now provides the nord-region-highlight configuration that can be set to either snowstorm or frost to use nord4 or nord8 colors from Nord's Frost and Snow Storm palettes.

;; Use `nord8` from Nord's "Frost" palette as background color.
(setq nord-region-highlight "frost")

;; Use `nord4` from Nord's "Snow Storm" palette as background color.
(setq nord-region-highlight "snowstorm")

Custom Color Contrast — #43 ⇄ #44 (⊶ 3e6bfdae) ↠ Please note that this configuration has been implemented and deprecated again in this release version through #73 that increased the default comment color (nord3) brightness by 10% from a lightness level of ~35% to ~45% Please see #73 and #74 for more details and the migration guide.

Improvements

Comment Color Brightness — #73 ⇄ #74 (⊶ 9ed7b9c2) ↠ Implemented the increase of the default comment color (nord3) brightness by 10% from a lightness level of ~35% to ~45%.

➜ Please see arcticicestudio/nord#94 for all details about this design change decision!

⚠ NOTE: This change also deprecates the „Custom Comment Contrast“ configuration implemented in #44 that will be removed in Nord Emacs version 1.0.0! The default comment color has been adjusted so the configuration is not required anymore for users to increase the brightness on their own. To notify users about this change a deprecation warning will be shown when the nord-comment-brightness configuration variable has been set and initialized through the user's configuration.

License Header Keyword — #41 ⇄ #42 (⊶ 24deba86) ↠ Added a license header keyword to help tools to automatically detect the license type as used by GitHub and Emacsmirror (licensee).

;; License: Apache-2.0

Bug Fixes

Non-Prefixed Names Leaked To Global Environment — #66 ⇄ #67 (⊶ c4e0b554) by @slippycheeze ↠ Prefixed all top level variable definitions, like custom theme configuration variables, to avoid leaking them in a way that could conflict with other code. The convention of package-- is used to mirror the most current Emacs coding conventions. Sadly this is necessary because Emacs Lisp has no namespaces, so every top level definition is visible to the entire universe including variables and functions.

Documentation

Documentation Typo In Package Name — #39 (⊶ eb7929e4) by @gguimaraesbr ↠ Fixed a invalid package name in the installation instructions: nord ➜ nord-theme
