| 7 | color theme for Emacs by Jason Blevins. A darker variant of the |
| 8 | [Gruber Dark](http://daringfireball.net/projects/bbcolors/schemes/) |
| 9 | theme for BBEdit by John Gruber. Adapted for deftheme and extended by |
| 10 | Alexey Kutepov a.k.a. rexim. |

| 18 | You can use built-in package manager (package.el) or do everything by |
| 19 | your hands. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Using package manager ## |
| 22 | |
| 23 | This theme is available on two repositories: |
| 24 | [MELPA](http://melpa.milkbox.net/) and |
| 25 | [Marmalade](http://marmalade-repo.org/). Add the following to your |
| 26 | emacs config file somewhere (.emacs, init.el, whatever) |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ``` |
| 29 | (require 'package) |
| 30 | (add-to-list 'package-archives |
| 31 | '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t) |
| 32 | ``` |
| 33 | |
| 34 | for [MELPA](http://melpa.milkbox.net/), or |
| 35 | |
| 36 | ``` |
| 37 | (require 'package) |
| 38 | (add-to-list 'package-archives |
| 39 | '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") t) |
| 40 | ``` |
| 41 | |
| 42 | for [Marmalade](http://marmalade-repo.org/). |
| 43 | |
| 44 | I personally prefer [MELPA](http://melpa.milkbox.net/), 'cause it |
| 45 | hourly updates its packages from upstream source. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Then use `M-x package-install RET gruber-darker-theme RET` to install |
| 48 | the theme. Use `M-x customize-themes` to change your current theme. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ## Manual old fashioned way ## |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Download the theme to your local directory. You can do it through `git |
| 53 | clone` command: |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ``` |
| 56 | git clone git://github.com/rexim/gruber-darker-theme.git |
| 57 | ``` |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Then add path to gruber-darker-theme to custom-theme-load-path list — |
| 60 | add the following to your emacs config file somewhere (.emacs, |
| 61 | init.el, whatever): |
| 62 | |
| 63 | ``` |
| 64 | (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path |
| 65 | "/path/to/gruber-darker-theme/") |
| 66 | ``` |
| 67 | |
| 68 | Use `M-x customize-themes` to change your current theme. |

| 72 | Gruber Darker is an awesome theme. But it has a lack of support for |
| 73 | many good modes. I add color faces only for modes I use. If you like |
| 74 | this theme and use a mode that looks very bad with it, feel free to |
| 75 | add appropriate color faces (see file gruber-darker-theme.el) and send |
| 76 | me a pull request. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | Thanks. |
