** Details

   The theme attempts to reduce the usage of colors to a minimum based on my

   personal preferences. It's not fully monochrome, for example diffs and active

   regions are distinguished via colors. The theme assumes no font-lock,

   i.e. =(global-font-lock-mode 0)=, so there is very little customization for

   syntax aware faces. The used colors are from the

   [[https://github.com/chriskempson/base16][base16]] set.

   By default the =mode-line= faces are using the same colors for fore- and

   background to reduce the noise. I use a little helper to toggle the color and

   face height of relevant faces similar to the following:

   #+begin_src emacs-lisp

     (defun mode-line-visual-toggle ()

       (interactive)

       (let ((faces-to-toggle '(mode-line mode-line-inactive))

             (invisible-color "#e8e8e8")

             (visible-color "#a1b56c"))

         (cond ((string= visible-color (face-attribute 'mode-line :background))

                (mapcar (lambda (face)

                          (set-face-background face invisible-color)

                          (set-face-attribute face nil :height 20))

                        faces-to-toggle))

               (t

                (mapcar (lambda (face)

                          (set-face-background face visible-color)

                          (set-face-attribute face nil :height (face-attribute 'default :height)))

                        faces-to-toggle)))))

   #+end_src
