Easily override theme faces by configuration. This is a port of the 'theming' layer from Spacemacs to regular Emacs. Customize `space-theming-modifications' with your face overrides, e.g. for theme white-sand and tango: (setq space-theming-modifications '((white-sand (cursor :background "#585858") (region :background "#a4a4a4" :foreground "white")) (tango (hl-line :inherit nil :background "#dbdbd7") (form-feed-line :strike-through "#b7b8b5")))) And activate with: (space-theming-init-theming) For detailed instructions, please look at the README.md at https://github.com/p3r7/space-theming/blob/master/README.md
