zenburn-theme for Emacs

About

My fork of the excellent zenburn-emacs, created just so that I can tweak basic coloring fringe to be dimmer.

how

The original theme uses zenburn-fg

    ...
;;;;; basic coloring
    ...
    (fringe ((t (:foreground ,zenburn-fg :background ,zenburn-bg+1))))
    ...
;;; Color Palette
    ...
    ("zenburn-fg"       . "#DCDCCC")
    ...
    ("zenburn-bg-1"     . "#2B2B2B")
    ...

I switch to zenburn-bg-1, which gives less obtrusive fringe marks.

install

I symlink this repository to ~/.emacs.d/harriott-zenburn-emacs (in my $OSAB/bs-symlinks/jo-2-whenWM-0.sh) then in my $misc/CP/Emacs/init.el I have:

; (use-package zenburn-theme)  ; gets the original
(require 'zenburn-theme)  ; gets this version
  (load-theme 'zenburn t)

I noticed that whenever I tweak my copy of the theme Emacs warns me that it considers "The local variables list in zenburn-theme.el contains values that may not be safe (*)." My workaround is to briefly switch back to the original theme.
