## Use
The easiest way to install is to use MELPA
```
M-x package-install sublime-themes
```## Manual install
Running install.sh will put the themes in ~/.emacs.d/themes
To load a theme add the following to your init.el
```elisp
(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/themes")
(load-theme 'hickey t)
```You can browse the themes with
```
M-x load-theme name-of-theme
```One line install script
```
git clone https://github.com/owainlewis/emacs-color-themes.git && cd emacs-color-themes && ./install.sh
```## As an Elisp Package
If the package directory is in the load path, one can simply
```
(require 'emacs-color-themes)
```and use `load-theme` function to load any theme that is provided.
This way, one can add the package to their Emacs configuration as is,
without needing to add any directories, symlinks or copies.## Brin

## Spolsky
> If something seems possible, that's probably because someone is already doing it.
> When something seems that it can't possibly work, nobody tries it.
> Real innovation happens when someone tries anyway, overlooking an obvious flaw, and finds a way to make an idea work.
> -- Joel SpolskyA theme heavily inspired by the default ST2 theme. My personal favourite.

## Graham

> If you don't do that, it won't matter how clever your business model is.
