Personally, I wouldn't mind if the ef-themes were added, I'm just not sure about the large-to-me number of options available. I guess a lot of people have that problem. I did also notice that the ef-themes don't have any descriptions when using (M-x customize-themes). They simply come up like the below: ==== example buffer ==== ... [ ] ef-summer -- (no description) ... If the individual themes are loaded with M-x ef-themes-select, then their description does turn up in the customize-themes listing for each theme loaded (and presumably then cached), shown below: ==== example buffer ==== ... [x] ef-summer -- Legible light theme with magenta, purple, gold, cyan colors. ... I don't know whether I failed to follow some installation instructions when I installed them.
