## Install
All instructions can be found at

## Configure
Some aspects of this theme are customizable. You can change them either
by doing `M-x customize-group dracula` or setting one or more of the

```el
;; Don't change the font size for some headings and titles (default t)
(setq dracula-enlarge-headings nil)
;; Adjust font size of titles level 1 (default 1.3)
(setq dracula-height-title-1 1.25)
;; Adjust font size of titles level 2 (default 1.1)
(setq dracula-height-title-2 1.15)
;; Adjust font size of titles level 3 (default 1.0)
(setq dracula-height-title-3 1.05)
;; Adjust font size of document titles (default 1.44)
(setq dracula-height-doc-title 1.4)
;; Use less pink and bold on the mode-line and minibuffer (default nil)
(setq dracula-alternate-mode-line-and-minibuffer t)
```

./start_emacs_test.sh
# Full color terminal
./start_emacs_test.sh -nw 256
