Minimalistic light color theme for GNU Emacs.

The theme attempts to reduce the usage of colors to a minimum based on my
personal preferences. It’s not fully monochrome, for example diffs and active
regions are distinguished via colors. The theme assumes no font-lock,
i.e. (global-font-lock-mode 0), so there is very little customization for
syntax aware faces. The used colors are from the
base16 set.
By default the mode-line faces are using the same colors for fore- and
background to reduce the noise. I use a little helper to toggle the color and
face height of relevant faces similar to the following:
(defun mode-line-visual-toggle ()
(interactive)
(let ((faces-to-toggle '(mode-line mode-line-inactive))
(invisible-color "#e8e8e8")
(visible-color "#a1b56c"))
(cond ((string= visible-color (face-attribute 'mode-line :background))
(mapcar (lambda (face)
(set-face-background face invisible-color)
(set-face-attribute face nil :height 20))
faces-to-toggle))
(t
(mapcar (lambda (face)
(set-face-background face visible-color)
(set-face-attribute face nil :height (face-attribute 'default :height)))
faces-to-toggle)))))For example:
