An arctic, north-bluish clean and elegant Emacs theme.



Designed for a fluent and clear workflow based on the Nord color palette.





  

    

  




Build for Emacs's terminal- and GUI mode with _true colors_ and support for many third-party syntax and UI packages.



## Getting Started



Visit the [official website][nord-home] to learn all about the [syntax highlighting][nord-home#syntax] features, details and elements of [UI and editor elements][nord-home#editor-details] and the [various theme configurations][nord-home#configurations].



Learn about the [installation and activation][nord-docs-home-install] and how to [configure][nord-docs-home-config] the theme from the [official documentations][nord-docs-home].



### Quick Start



Thanks to the builtin Emacs package manager, Nord Emacs can be installed for all platforms and the various variants/forks of Emacs in a uniform way with one command from [MELPA][], [MELPA Stable][melpa-stable] and [marmalade-repo][marmelade].



To install or update Nord Emacs

2. run the `package-install` command

3. type `nord-theme` and confirm with ↲





  

    

  




For more setup methods see the [official installation & activation guide][nord-docs-home-install] as well as Emacs [official package install documentations][emacs-docs-pack_inst] for more details about the builtin package management.



#### Activation



Make sure the [`~/.emacs.d/themes` directory][emacs-docs-custh] has been added to Emacs _load path_ by adding it to the list in your [init file][emacs-docs-initfile] (`.init.el`):



```lisp

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/themes/"))

```



To activate and use Nord Emacs as your default color theme load it in your init file:



```lisp

(load-theme 'nord t)

```

## Features



Your editor. Your style.
