Colors contribution layer for Spacemacs

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/b5cc52922788cdcc56a33dd0d85f0213a952f1f4/contrib/colors/img/rainbow_dash.png

Description

This layer colors your life with:

  • rainbow identifiers mode will colorize each variables and functions with an almost unique color. The keywords and the declaration of function colors are disabled in order to make the colorized variables and functions stand out.
  • rainbow mode displays strings representing colors with the color they represent as background.
  • nyan mode display a Nyan cat progress bar in the mode-line.

Install

To use this contribution add it to your ~/.spacemacs

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(colors))

Enable rainbow-identifiers

To enable the package rainbow-identifiers set the variable colors-enable-rainbow-identifiers to t:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (colors :variables colors-enable-rainbow-identifiers t)))

Saturation and lightness of identifiers can be set per theme by adding an entry in the variable colors-theme-identifiers-sat&light. This is an alist where the key is a theme symbol and the value is a pair (saturation lightness).

Example:

  (push '(mytheme . (50 50)) colors-theme-identifiers-sat&light)

Enable Nyan cat

To enable the package nyan-mode set the variable colors-enable-nyan-cat-progress-bar to t:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (colors :variables colors-enable-nyan-cat-progress-bar t)))

It may be handy to enable it only in a GUI, you can do it by using a quasi-quoted list:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
    =((colors :variables
              colors-enable-nyan-cat-progress-bar ,(display-graphic-p))))

Key bindings

The prefix associated with colors is C.

Rainbow Identifiers

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/b5cc52922788cdcc56a33dd0d85f0213a952f1f4/contrib/colors/img/theme-tweaks-python.png

rainbow-identifiers mode can be toggled on and off with:

<SPC> t C i

Note that the toggle is local to the current buffer.

The saturation and lightness of identifier colors can be adjusted live with the micro-state:

Key Binding Description
<SPC> C i s initiate change saturation mini-mode
<SPC> C i l initiate change lightness mini-mode
+ increase the saturation or lightness
- decrease the saturation or lightness
= reset the saturation or lightness
Any other key leave the change mini-mode

Rainbow Mode

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/b5cc52922788cdcc56a33dd0d85f0213a952f1f4/contrib/colors/img/rainbow-mode.png

rainbow-mode mode can be toggled on and off with:

<SPC> t C c

Nyan Mode

nyan-mode mode can be toggled on and off with:

<SPC> t m n

Note that the toggle is local to the current buffer.
