Configure a unified look and feel across the system with modern themes.

* Setup

Easily swap between system themes using the ~lxappearance~[fn:1] tool. I tend to default to the ~arc-theme~[fn:2] as it looks really good with most themes.

#+begin_src shell
RUN apt install -y lxappearance
#+end_src

* Config

High quality and modern colour themes are provides inside of Emacs via the ~doom-themes~[fn:3] package. Some of the themes can be further configured, see the documentation for more details.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package doom-themes
  :init (load-theme 'doom-moonlight t))
#+end_src

* Shortcuts

Create a custom keybinding for loading a theme with =SPC t t=:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "tt" '(counsel-load-theme t t :which-key "Theme"))
#+end_src
