README
# The future was cooler in the 80's.
[](https://melpa.org/#/rebecca-theme)
Rebecca is a dark emacs theme with purple/violet colors.
Main accent color is [Rebecca Purple](https://zeldman.com/2014/06/10/the-color-purple/) and a personal loving tribute to the life of Rebecca De La Rosa.
Works best with [this soundtrack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDBbaGCCIhk) and [Liam Wong's photos](http://liamwon9.tumblr.com/) as background.

# Installation
#### With [Spacemacs](http://spacemacs.org)
Rebecca is now included in spacemacs' [theme-megapack](https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/develop/layers/%2Bthemes/themes-megapack).
To set it as default just add it to the top of themes preference on your ~/.spacemacs file:
```emacs-lisp
dotspacemacs-themes '(
rebecca
)
```
Or activate it using the theme switcher:
```
SPC T s rebecca [RET]
```
#### From [MELPA](https://melpa.org/#/rebecca-theme)
```
M-x package-install [RET] rebecca-theme [RET]
M-x load-theme [RET] rebecca [RET]
```
#### Manually
put rebecca-theme.el in either the custom-theme-directory or load-path.
You can apply the theme via M-x customize-themes, or make it the default by adding the following to your Emacs configuration:
```emacs-lisp
(load-theme #'rebecca t)
```
## Term color scheme
The Rebecca color scheme has been [ported to `iterm2` and many other terminals](https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes).
Also, some [base16-rebecca](https://github.com/vic/base16-rebecca) iterm colors can be [found here](https://github.com/martinlindhe/base16-iterm2/tree/master/itermcolors)
## Emacs terminal 24bit colors
For getting the best experience on terminal, I'd recommend to use an emacs patched with 24bit color support.
Instructions for getting emacs with 24bit colors can be [found here](https://gist.github.com/vic/fa58918694af3b3767fbc7dc22cbc406)
## Wezterm
Wezterm includes the rebbeca theme by default, to enable it use something like the following on your `$XDG_HOME/.config/wezterm/wezterm.lua` file:
```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local config = {}
config.color_scheme = 'rebecca'
return config
```
## Zellij
A port of this theme for zellij can be [found here](https://github.com/vic/zellij-rebecca-theme)
