Note: As on [2025-01-19], I realized I did recreate a wheel, after reading up modus-themes, I remark that modus-themes is a masterpiece. Lots of options, and it can be override.
The main reason I created haki-theme was to use pitch black background for my oled laptop, and to have punchy colors with modern suite of emacs packages.
I realized that this was simple, so simple overriding vivendi theme gave me almost equivalent results.
I suggest y’all to take your time and go through M-x modus-themes-list-colors and modify the palette as you like. Please kindly read up the info manual for modus-themes (it should be built-in to emacs)
Truly modus-themes is a masterpiece which can craft any theme as preferred.
So far here’s the config I came up to almost replace my haki-theme
- I will be using this, and adding more changes which seems replacing of it.
(use-package modus-themes

This is not any normal theme that looks “huh”.
This is tailored for Emacs in modern sense, with each element to look distinguishable and go in sync.
There is not much science or principle here, it’s just a theme and its your eyes, if they go in sync, whoami to stop?
As a new theme, I have two things in my mind:
- If community or many users, like the theme, I might go tweak and add more goodies.
- If there is not much appreciation, I might modify and improve some pastel colors.

You can open an issue for requesting a mode or package. I will try to implement it, if community likes to.
Theme is available in MELPA.
;; Option 1: Simply do (make sure it is in 'custom-theme-directory')
(load-theme 'haki t)
(set-face-attribute 'haki-region nil :background "#2e8b57" :foreground "#ffffff")
;; Option 2: with 'use-package'
(use-package haki-theme
:demand t
:custom-face
(haki-region ((t (:background "#2e8b57" :foreground "#ffffff"))))
(haki-highlight ((t (:background "#fafad2" :foreground "#000000"))))
:custom
;; If you skip setting this, it will use 'default' font.
(haki-heading-font "Comic Mono")
(haki-sans-font "Iosevka Comfy Motion")
(haki-title-font "Impress BT")
(haki-link-font "VictorMono Nerd Font") ;; or Maple Mono looks good
(haki-code-font "Maple Mono") ;; inline code/verbatim (org,markdown..)
(haki-bg-oled nil "Toggle pitch black OLED background.")
:config
;; For meow/evil users (change border of mode-line according to modal states)
(add-hook 'post-command-hook #'haki-modal-mode-line)
(load-theme 'haki t))
Since its new, there is not much, but I do have some surprise!
- Since regions cover everywhere, you can customize it to your preference.
Use M-x haki-change-region to choose and set a color for haki-region.
To make it persist on sessions, you need to set face for haki-region
- Emacs on Terminal should support 24-bit colors.
It displays all colors for me on foot terminal.
If you have issue, You can try setting ‘COLORTERM’ environment variable to “true-color” :
export COLORTERM=truecolor
- Heading level will be similar everywhere (org,markdown,eww,shr,info,news..), every heading faces inherit corresponding org-level.
So if you don’t see those styles in any mode, please note that you may have to load
org-mode. Will try to make it not depend on org-mode if possible.
- For meow/evil users, there is
#'haki-modal-mode-linewhich can change the border (:box) of the mode-line according to the meow-states, with this hook:(add-hook 'post-command-hook #'haki-modal-mode-line)
- Just like a theme, if you are looking to try new font. I can suggest you to check Recursive font I use (fork) them patched with nerd icons in OnePiece style naming, check out Code D Font
- [X] Avoid too much
:inheritin faces. - [ ] Test full picture on
org-agenda. - [ ] Make it to not conflict with user’s customization at all.
- Idea is to define-faces
haki-cyan-altand use it for all faces. - So user can change anything and not worry about it affecting other faces.
- Idea is to define-faces
- [ ] Work on
magitfaces more. - [ ]
ementandercfaces. - [ ] Give custom options for mode-line, tab-bar highlight to be in border or region or nil.
- Major revamp, and fixes.
- Fixed lot of inherit faces, fix inherit to not depend on external package.
- Tried to minimize
:inheritas there should be minimal conflict with user’s customization. - Most of the faces depended on
org-mode, fixed it. So others may not wait until org-mode is loaded.
There’s always a space for improvement.
- If you want to open an issue, Please attach a pic of the issue state.
- If you want to make a PR, Please attach pic of before and after effects.
This will allow me to consider and evaluate.
- Prot’s themes - I’m a fan of
modus-vivendi, but it lacked something for me, it simply lead me to create this theme. Nonetheless, Modus themes is a Masterpiece. - Minad - If it were not for his packages, I wouldn’t have loved Emacs this much to create a theme.
Absolute gem! Most of the theme’s customization is based on his packages.
Thank you for the shout out and Appreciations! But note: I have just randomly chosen colors, it is not defined with any criteria.
