+Modus themes version 2.7.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2022-10-01
+
+
+Support for packages or faces
+=============================
+
+,* Reinstated support for 'centaur-tabs'.  I had removed it in commit
+  2235ce5 (done on 2022-08-02) for version 2.5.0 of the modus-themes.
+  At the time I wrote:
+
+      centaur-tabs has a bug where it cannot read the value of a face if it
+      uses the standard ':inherit' attribute.  I have sent a patch to fix it,
+      but have received no response since February:
+      <https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs/pull/179>.
+
+      Relevant reports:
+
+      - <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/30>
+      - <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/288>
+      - <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/15>
+
+      I am happy to reinstate support for centaur-tabs as soon as the package
+      gets the maintenance it needs.
+
+  My patch/pull-request is now merged and the package is actively
+  maintained once again.  Hence the decision to bring back support for
+  it, as promised.
+
+,* Applied styles for the 'icon-button' face of Emacs 29.
+
+,* Styled the 'log-edit-headers-separator' face of Emacs 29 (it was
+  introduced upstream by a patch of mine).
+
+,* Made the 'gnus-summary-low-unread' face inherit from the 'italic'
+  face like the rest of that subgroup of faces.  This helps
+  differentiate it from the 'gnus-summary-high-unread' face.  Thanks
+  to Mark Simpson for pointing out the possibility of conflating those
+  two faces: <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3Cm2r0zszc2z.fsf@gmail.com%3E>.
+
+,* Covered the 'read-multiple-choice-face' by adding a noticeable
+  background colour to it.  The default attributes it has, which look
+  like other key bindings (bold and blue) plus an underline are
+  technically okay, though the context of this face is in the echo
+  area which is one line tall.  Moreover, the highlighted keys are
+  inlined with other text.  These make it difficult to spot the
+  highlights without some extra spacing.  I use the addition of a
+  background in Org's export dispatcher interface which also has some
+  unique requirements (the 'org-dispatcher-highlight' face).  The
+  principle is to have theme-wide consistency (e.g. "all key bindings
+  must look the same") EXCEPT when the specifics require a different
+  set of styles in the interest of usability.
+
+,* Extended the coverage of the 'auctex' package's faces to include the
+  'font-latex-underline-face'.  Thanks to Luis Miguel Castañeda for
+  reporting a typo I made which caused an error:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C7h7d2oudpb.fsf@imaginarymagnitude.net%3E>
+
+,* Added support for 'crontab-mode'.  Thanks to Antonio Ruiz for the
+  patch: <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/patches/35080>.  It
+  is below the ~15 line threshold and thus requires no copyright
+  assignment to the Free Software Foundation.
+
+,* Extended support for the 'company' package's 'company-scrollbar-bg'
+  and 'company-scrollbar-fg' faces.
+
+,* Added support for the 'spell-fu' package.  Thanks to Antonio Ruiz
+  for the patch: <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C87fshnq7uv.fsf%40purelymail.com%3E>.
+  Same as further above for Antonio's copyright status.
+
+,* Moved the 'selectrum-prescient' faces to the 'prescient' group, to
+  be consistent with changes in the respective upstream packages.
+  Thanks to okamsn for the contribution, which was done in pull
+  request 41 on the GitHub mirror: <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/pull/41>.
+  The user okamsn has assigned copyright assignment to the Free
+  Software Foundation, although this patch is within the allowed
+  limits.
+
+
+Change to 'fill-column-indicator'
+=================================
+
+Made the 'fill-column-indicator' face more noticeable.  It is what the
+'display-fill-column-indicator-mode' uses to draw a line on where the
+'fill-column' is.
+
+This change is in response to private messages I received as well as
+this, at parts impolite and toxic, thread that I refrained from
+participating in:
+<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2022-08/msg00255.html>.
+
+[ I do not follow that mailing list, by the way.  All my projects have
+  multiple communication channels and I always reply in a timely
+  fashion.  Social media, fora about Emacs, generic mailing lists,
+  etc. are not among those channels.
+  <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-07-24-report-issues-official-channels/>. ]
+
+The core idea is that the previous design was (1) considered
+"invisible" and (2) it prevented the customisation of the user option
+'display-fill-column-indicator-character'.
+
+I am addressing point 1, but point 2 puts us in an awkward spot as we
+would then not be allowed to use a background and a height value.  Not
+doing so produces a dashed line by default, with the dashes further
+apart the greater the line-spacing is (especially in, say, Org
+headings that can have a greater height than paragraph text).  It
+looks broken and I keep getting requests to fix what is not the
+themes' fault.  So no, the themes will remain opinionated in this
+regard by ignoring 'display-fill-column-indicator-character' through
+the styling they apply to make the line contiguous.
+
+For context, also read Emacs bug#57424 and please don't take my words
+in a private message out of context.  If I need to state my opinion in
+a public setting, I know how to do it.
+<https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=57424>.
+
+
+Refinement to modus-vivendi 'bg-diff-focus-removed' colour
+==========================================================
+
+Made the default removed diff background slightly more luminant.  The
+colour is seen in diff-mode, ediff, and the Magit focused diff hunk.
+
+When the user option 'modus-themes-diffs' is set to either 'bg-only' or
+'desaturated', this colour is used to highlight word-wise ("refined")
+changes.  The increased luminance lets it stand out more compared to the
+more subtle backdrop.
+
+Thanks to Kévin Le Gouguec for bringing this issue to my attention and
+for discussing it with me:
+<https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C87bks4i9tg.fsf@gmail.com%3E>
+
+
+Note about 'goto-address-mode'
+==============================
+
+Quote from the manual:
+
+    The built-in 'goto-address-mode' uses heuristics to identify URLs and
+    email addresses in the current buffer.  It then applies a face to them
+    to change their style.  Some packages, such as 'notmuch', use this
+    minor-mode automatically.
+
+    The faces are not declared with 'defface', meaning that it is better
+    that the theme does not modify them.  The user is thus encouraged to
+    consider including (or equivalent) this in their setup:
+
+        (setq goto-address-url-face 'link
+              goto-address-url-mouse-face 'highlight
+              goto-address-mail-face 'link
+              goto-address-mail-mouse-face 'highlight)
+
+    My personal preference is to set 'goto-address-mail-face' to nil, as
+    it otherwise adds too much visual noise to the buffer (email addresses
+    stand out more, due to the use of the uncommon '@' character but also
+    because they are often enclosed in angled brackets).
+
+
+Changes to the manual
+=====================
+
+,* Fixed a few typos and ensured that spelling using American English
+  as that is what emacs.git requires.
+
+,* Added the missing ':config' keywords from the example configuration
+  of the 'circadian' package.  Thanks to Koen van Greevenbroek for the
+  patch: <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C8735cb6zm3.fsf%40posteo.net%3E>.

+Modus themes version 2.6.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2022-08-19
+
+
+Changes to supported faces or face groups
+=========================================
+
+,* Made the 'font-lock-warning-face' adapt to comments.  This changes the
+  face from a yellow to a red hue when the user adds a value to
+  'modus-themes-syntax' which includes 'yellow-comments' property.
+  Before, this face was indistinguishable from yellow comments due to a
+  regression in version 2.5.0 of the themes.  Thanks to Augusto Stoffel
+  and Manuel Uberti for their feedback on the mailing list:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C87r11k1c22.fsf%40gmail.com%3E>.
+
+,* Applied a consistent foreground color (a not-so-intense yellow hue) to
+  the 'org-checkbox' and 'markdown-gfm-checkbox-face'.  The change comes
+  from the discussion on the mailing list where it became apparent that
+  a bit of colour is needed for such constructs:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3Cm2fsi9cja4.fsf%40me.com%3E>.
+
+  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič, Christian Tietze, and Karthik Chikmagalur
+  for their participation.
+
+,* Added support for the 'mu4e-related-face'.  Thanks to Simon Pugnet for
+  the feedback on the mailing list:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C87edxhvqwp.fsf@polaris64.net%3E>.
+
+,* Included support for the 'consult-preview-insertion' face.  There are
+  two reasons for adding this:
+
+  1. It decouples it from the 'region' face, which means that the user
+     option 'modus-themes-region' no longer has an unintended effect on
+     it.
+
+  2. It makes it look consistent with the 'rectangle-preview' face (see
+     it in action with C-x SPC, move point down a few lines, type C-t
+     and then insert some text).  I feel these sort of previews need to
+     look the same, though I don't have a strong attachment to the style
+     now in use.
+
+
+Removed support for the 'solaire' package
+=========================================
+
+The 'solaire-mode' package dims the background of what it considers
+ancillary "UI" buffers, such as the minibuffer and Dired buffers.  The
+Modus themes used to support Solaire on the premise that the user was
+(i) opting in to it, (ii) understood why certain buffers were more gray,
+and (iii) knew what other adjustments had to be made to prevent broken
+visuals (e.g. the default style of the 'modus-themes-completions' uses a
+subtle gray background for the selection, which with Solaire becomes
+practically invisible).
+
+However, the assumption that users opt in to this feature does not
+always hold true.  There are cases where it is enabled by default such
+as in the popular Doom Emacs configuration.  Thus, the unsuspecting user
+who loads 'modus-operandi' or 'modus-vivendi' without the requisite
+customizations is getting a sub-par experience; an experience that we
+did not intend and cannot genuinely fix.
+
+[ Relevant reading about "The case of git-gutter, the modus-themes, and
+  Doom Emacs":
+  <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-08-04-doom-git-gutter-modus-themes/> ]
+
+Because the Modus themes are meant to work everywhere, we cannot make an
+exception for Doom Emacs and/or Solaire users.  Furthermore, we shall
+not introduce hacks, such as by adding a check in all relevant faces to
+be adjusted based on Solaire or whatever other package.  Hacks of this
+sort are unsustainable and penalize the entire userbase.  Besides, the
+themes are built into Emacs and we must keep their standard high.
+
+The fundamental constraint with Solaire is that Emacs does not have a
+real distinction between "content" and "UI" buffers.  For themes to work
+with Solaire, they need to be designed around that package.  Such is an
+arrangement that compromises on our accessibility standards and/or
+hinders our efforts to provide the best possible experience while using
+the Modus themes.
+
+As such, 'solaire-mode' is not---and will not be---supported by the
+Modus themes (or any other of my themes, for that matter).  Users who
+want it must style the faces manually.  Below is some sample code, based
+on what we cover at length in the manual:
+
+    (defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+      (modus-themes-with-colors
+        (custom-set-faces
+         `(solaire-default-face ((,class :inherit default :background ,bg-alt :foreground ,fg-dim)))
+         `(solaire-line-number-face ((,class :inherit solaire-default-face :foreground ,fg-unfocused)))
+         `(solaire-hl-line-face ((,class :background ,bg-active)))
+         `(solaire-org-hide-face ((,class :background ,bg-alt :foreground ,bg-alt))))))
+
+    (add-hook 'modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook #'my-modus-themes-custom-faces)
+
+
+Changes to the manual
+=====================
+
+,* Added a missing parenthesis to a sample code block.  Thanks to Paul
+  David for the contribution in pull request 39 on the GitHub mirror:
+  <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/pull/39>.
+
+,* Clarified the wording of individual statements pertaining to the need
+  of reloading a theme for changes to user options to become effective.

+Modus themes version 2.5.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2022-08-03
+
+This entry documents the changes made to the project since the
+publication of version 2.4.0 on 2022-06-01.  It spans more than 60
+commits to an already stable project.
+
+The 'modus-operandi' and 'modus-vivendi' themes are built into Emacs-28
+(latest stable release) or later, and are available on GNU ELPA as well
+as other archives.  Emacs-28 ships version 1.6.0, while the current
+'master' branch (i.e. Emacs-29) and, by extension, GNU ELPA include the
+latest tagged release.  The packaged version is available as
+'modus-themes'.
+
+Read the manual inside Emacs by evaluating:
+
+    (info "(modus-themes) Top")
+
+Or visit: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes> (the website only
+documents the latest version).
+
+
+Enhancement to the user option 'modus-themes-headings'
+======================================================
+
+The user option 'modus-themes-headings' now reads a level 0 heading in
+addition to numbers 1--8.  Heading 0 accepts the same list of properties
+as all other levels (please consult the doc string of the user option or
+the corresponding entry in the manual).  Currently only the value of the
+Org #+title is affected (face is 'org-document-title'), but we may cover
+more faces if needed.
+
+Sample configuration:
+
+    ;; The `modus-themes-headings' is an alist with lots of possible
+    ;; combinations, including per-heading-level tweaks: read the
+    ;; manual or its doc string.
+    (setq modus-themes-headings
+          '((0 . (variable-pitch light (height 2.2)))
+            (1 . (rainbow variable-pitch light (height 1.6)))
+            (2 . (rainbow variable-pitch light (height 1.4)))
+            (3 . (rainbow variable-pitch regular (height 1.3)))
+            (4 . (rainbow regular (height 1.2)))
+            (5 . (rainbow (height 1.1)))
+            (t . (variable-pitch extrabold)))
+
+Given this change, I am also tweaking the default foreground value of
+the 'org-document-title'.  It is a bit more saturated than before, but
+remains close to the spirit of the previous one.
+
+Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for proposing the idea on the mailing list:
+<https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3Cm2y1x5tewl.fsf@me.com%3E>.
+
+
+Stylistic tweak to the user option 'modus-themes-syntax'
+========================================================
+
+Prevented the 'alt-syntax' property from desaturating the effect of the
+'yellow-comments' property when the two would be combined.  Such as:
+
+    (setq modus-themes-syntax '(alt-syntax yellow-comments))
+
+The previous design was incorrect because it was always using the faint
+variant of the yellow comments, as if the user had specified:
+
+    (setq modus-themes-syntax '(alt-syntax faint yellow-comments))
+
+[ Read the doc string of 'modus-themes-syntax' or the manual for an
+  explanation of all properties and their combinations. ]
+
+
+Review of the Isearch (and related) colours
+===========================================
+
+Emacs' standard search has a face for the currently matched query and
+all its inactive matches.  The faces are 'isearch' and 'lazy-highlight',
+respectively.  Before, we were using a green background by default for
+the 'isearch' face and a cyan background for the 'lazy-highlight'.  This
+was a choice that was made in the early days of the project when the
+palette was not yet fully realised.
+
+Green and cyan do not always contrast well side-by-side (subject to
+hardware capabilities and environmental lighting), so the 'isearch' face
+also had an added bold weight.  This was not my preference, but it was
+necessary under the circumstances.  The previous combinations were also
+not ideal when the user option 'modus-themes-deuteranopia' was set to a
+non-nil value: the blue background which was used instead of the green
+one could be conflated with the subtle teal of the 'lazy-highlight'
+under certain circumstances, such as poor colour reproduction at the
+monitor level or in terminal emulators with limited colour support.
+
+The new colours (intense yellow for active matches and subtle cyan for
+lazy ones) are complementary, meaning that they are naturally easy to
+tell apart.
+
+[ Read "Colour theory and techniques used in the Modus themes":
+  <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-04-21-modus-themes-colour-theory/> ]
+
+These specific hues are also well-suited for users with red-green colour
+deficiency: yellow stays as-is, while the cyan colour becomes a bit more
+grey though remains distinct.  As such, we do not need to run the helper
+function 'modus-themes--deuteran' to set the style based on the value of
+'modus-themes-deuteranopia'.
+
+The new colours do not clash with the style of the relevant 'match' face
+(used by 'M-x occur', 'M-x grep', and related), nor with the various
+permutations of the 'region' face (subject to the user option
+'modus-themes-region').
+
+Finally, the bold weight has been removed from the 'isearch' face.  It
+was always a kludge.  Also, it would make paragraphs rendered in the
+'variable-pitch' face (or proportional fonts in general) jump around as
+the user would move between the matches, because bold letters occupy
+more space than their regular weight counterparts so they affect the
+length of the line.  This problem was reported by Augusto Stoffel on the
+mailing list: <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C87sfnbswe9.fsf@gmail.com%3E>.
+
+
+Rewrote parts of the colour preview commands
+============================================
+
+The 'modus-themes-list-colors', 'modus-themes-list-colors-current' are
+commands that produce a buffer which shows previews of every entry in
+the palette.  Their code has been simplified and they now produce a
+warning when the display terminal has limited colour support.
+Furthermore, they read any overrides as specified in the user options
+'modus-themes-operandi-color-overrides', 'modus-themes-vivendi-color-overrides'.
+
+
+The "summertime" re-spin of colour overrides
+============================================
+
+The manual now includes a complete hand-crafted example of a pair of
+themes that override the default palette.  This is done as a technology
+demonstration.  It is not considered an "official" extension of the
+Modus themes and will never be part of the code base as it does not
+conform with our lofty accessibility standards.  However, I took great
+care in picking the colour overrides in the hope that users will (i)
+have a usable theme, should they opt for it, and (ii) they recognise the
+potential of our colour-overriding feature.
+
+Screenshots and related information:
+<https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-07-26-modus-themes-color-override-demo/>.
+
+Thanks to user “Summer Emacs” for (i) suggesting the name “summertime”,
+(ii) testing variants of this in her setup, and (iii) sending me
+feedback on possible tweaks and refinements. All errors are my own.
+
+The idea for this project came from an exchange where Summer discovered
+an old theme of mine (from my pre-Emacs days) and asked if I had
+anything like it for Emacs.  Voilà!
+
+[ This information is shared with permission. ]
+
+As for whether I have more plans... "Perhaps!" ;)
+
+
+Removed support for certain packages or face groups
+===================================================
+
+I periodically install and use the packages we support to see if they
+have any updates we need to cover but also to confirm that they work.
+Usually, the user does not learn about this work, as I don't need to
+make any changes or will make some minor tweaks.  When I think that the
+package is not in a good shape, I remove it from the list of explicitly
+supported packages, meaning that the modus-themes no longer cover the
+faces it defines.  The removal of any package is done on a case-by-case
+basis.  If you disagree with this decision, please inform me about and I
+shall reconsider.
+
+,* centaur-tabs :: Those of you who have been reading these release notes
+  are aware of a bug in centaur-tabs which basically prevents us from
+  using the standard ':inherit' attribute to style the centaur-tabs
+  faces.  I have sent a patch to fix it, but have received no response
+  since February: <https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs/pull/179>.
+  To me, this gives the package the "unmaintained" status, though I am
+  happy to revert the change as soon as it gets the maintenance it
+  needs.
+
+  Relevant reports (and I got many others in my private inbox):
+
+  - <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/30>
+  - <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/288>
+  - <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/15>
+
+,* cursor-flash :: its default face should be visible enough.
+
+,* dynamic-ruler :: The package does not build on my Emacs 29.  Also, its
+  default faces are usable even without our recolouring.
+
+,* emacs-dashboard :: Its default faces inherit from basic faces that we
+  already support.
+
+,* frog-menu :: I have not seen this package being used anywhere.  I
+  suspect it is because it has not found a niche between transient,
+  hydra, and embark.
+
+,* mct :: A few months ago I announced that its development is
+  discontinued.  Either use vertico or switch to what Emacs provides as
+  a built-in option: <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-04-14-emacs-discontinue-mct/>.
+
+,* org-treescope :: The package points to a GitHub repo, which is
+  archived.  The current source is on GitLab, but the package is not
+  updated accordingly.  This makes me believe it is not actively
+  maintained and am thus removing it from the list.
+
+,* paradox :: When I tried paradox, it took over my C-c g binding which I
+  have for Magit.  As an Emacs user, I consider this an unacceptable
+  transgression.  Looking at paradox's git repo, the project is not
+  maintained.  If things change, I am happy to reinstate support for it.
+
+,* vc-annotate (built-in) :: It has not been working properly for a long
+  time now.  Colours are unset and are not re-applied when switching
+  between the 'modus-operandi' and 'modus-vivendi' themes.
+
+  Furthermore, the way 'vc-annotate-color-map' intersects with
+  'vc-annotate-background-mode' puts us in an awkward spot: when the
+  mode is non-nil, the mapped values are used as backgrounds WITHOUT
+  giving us the chance to make the appropriate adjustments to the
+  foreground (so we end up with inaccessible colour combinations).  This
+  means that we must fix a problem which is not ours by overriding the
+  user option of the background altogether.  A theme outright disabling
+  user options is bad form.
+
+  Even documenting a user-level set of configurations will not suffice,
+  as the results are unreliable.  I tried the code which I copy further
+  below to test annotation with/without background, plus the change in
+  values when switching between modus-operandi and modus-vivendi.
+  Again, colours are not updated properly (I know the buffer of 'M-x
+  vc-annotate' needs to be generated again), as 'modus-operandi' may
+  retain the values set by 'modus-vivendi' or vice-versa.
+
+  Ultimately, I feel 'vc-annotate' needs to be refactored to use
+  ordinary faces in ordinary ways.  Or, at least, not try to outsmart
+  the user/theme about the choice of colours.
+
+  Thanks to Philip Kaludercic for starting the thread about the
+  'vc-annotate-background-mode' which reminded me about this problem:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C875ylfxkgi.fsf@posteo.net%3E>.

+
+
+Revised supported faces or face groups
+======================================
+
+,* Enhanced the default background colour of the current date in the Org
+  agenda.  This is a subtle change, all things considered, which makes
+  it easier to discern where the highlight is while it remains close to
+  the spirit of the previous design.  The idea is to not add too much
+  saturation here, because the buffer is already "busy" with lots of
+  highlights.  Thanks to Daniel Mendler for the feedback on the mailing
+  list: <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C3d8b1096-a7db-1e08-fefe-d39bed4a7ea3@daniel-mendler.de%3E>.
+
+,* Restyled the 'M-x man' and 'M-x woman' faces to have a bit more
+  saturation.  A while ago I desaturated the 'Man-overstrike' and
+  'woman-bold' faces on the premise that the added bold weight would be
+  sufficient.  However, the bold weight may sometimes not draw the
+  desired attention, such as at small point sizes or with certain font
+  configurations.  As such, the added intensity in colour is necessary.
+
+,* Changed the Selectrum quick key faces ('selectrum-quick-keys-match'
+  and 'selectrum-quick-keys-highlight') to have the same style as Avy,
+  Vertico's own "quick keys", and related.  For a technical analysis,
+  read "Modus themes: case study on Avy faces and colour combinations":
+  <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-04-20-modus-themes-case-study-avy/>.
+
+,* Made internal adjustments so that 'M-x list-packages' inherits from
+  the standard 'success', 'warning', and 'error' faces instead of adding
+  its own face attributes.  In practice, the user will notice a change
+  for new packages in the listing if 'modus-themes-deuteranopia' is
+  non-nil.
+
+,* Introduced the same inheritance rules as above for the 'syslog'
+  package (mutatis mutandis).
+
+,* Increased the saturation of the 'package-status-available' face, which
+  is shown in the 'M-x list-packages' buffer.  The overall effect is
+  subtle, though sufficiently noticeable.
+
+,* Revised the faces of the 'deft' package to make it look consistent
+  with the rest of the theme's relevant interfaces (to the extent
+  possible as Deft uses a non-standard presentation).
+
+,* Aligned the 'speedbar-highlight-face' with the user option
+  'modus-themes-intense-mouseovers'.
+
+,* Refined the 'highlight-thing' face (see package of the same name).
+  This makes it stand out more and it also aligns it with the standard
+  'match' face, which is pertinent here.
+
+,* Amplified the saturation of the 'dired-git-info' face.  Makes it
+  easier to differentiate the Git commit text from the Dired listing,
+  without drawing too much attention to itself.
+
+,* Adjusted the hue of the 'easy-jekyll-help-face' from teal to blue.
+  This makes it look more like the standard 'help-key-binding' face,
+  although 'easy-jekyll' does not align with upstream Emacs in this
+  regard.
+
+,* Intensified the background of 'rectangle-preview' to work even in
+  cases where a grey background is already on display.  This face is
+  used for the 'string-rectangle' command (e.g. C-x SPC to draw a
+  rectangle and C-t to insert text in its stead---works as a simple
+  "multiple cursors" on a straight line).
+
+
+Support for new faces or face groups
+====================================
+
+,* chart (built-in)
+,* denote
+,* edmacro-label (Emacs 29)
+,* info+
+,* leerzeichen
+
+A comment on 'info+'.  As is the case with PACKAGE+ packages from the
+Emacs Wiki, info+ defines lots of faces that hardcode colour values
+instead of inheriting from basic faces.  It does so for no good reason
+and the results will likely not look decent in any theme.  Furthermore,
+these faces colourise too much even when the colour values can be
+appropriately combined (ceteris paribus), making the buffer harder to
+read.
+
+The support I add for info+ is consistent with the design principles of
+the modus-themes, one of which is to avoid exaggerations as those
+indirectly affect legibility.  As such, some of the changes I introduce
+here outright remove colouration, while others align the various
+constructs with the overall aesthetic of the themes.
+
+Note that, by default, info+ adds clickable buttons to glossary terms.
+This produces awkward combinations such as by buttonising the "string"
+component inside of what actually is a function's argument.  So you
+have, say, FORMAT-[STRING] where "[]" represents the button: the FORMAT
+gets one face and the [STRING] another, even though they are part of a
+single argument.  To me this looks broken and is counter-productive,
+though it is not up to the theme to decide how packages fontify the
+various constructs.  At any rate, button styles at the theme level are
+controlled by the user option 'modus-themes-box-buttons'.
+
+Thanks to Jonas Collberg for the feedback in issue 33 over at the GitHub
+mirror: <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/33>.
+
+
+Miscellaneous
+=============
+
+,* Named the mailing list address as the =Maintainer:= of Denote.
+  Together with the other package headers, they help the user find our
+  primary sources and/or communication channels.  This change conforms
+  with work being done upstream in package.el by Philip Kaludercic.  I
+  was informed about it here:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/general-issues/%3C875ykl84yi.fsf%40posteo.net%3E>.
+
+,* Addressed byte compilation warnings in doc strings pertaining to the
+  use of literal quotes.  Thanks to Matt Armstrong and Rudolf Adamkovič
+  for the feedback on the mailing list:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C87bktlvgyy.fsf@rfc20.org%3E>.
+
+,* Fixed the ':link' value in the declaration of the user options
+  'modus-themes-operandi-color-overrides', 'modus-themes-vivendi-color-overrides'.
+  It once again directs to the correct heading in the manual.
+
+,* Documented all the aforementioned, where necessary.
+
+,* Mentioned my 'fontaine' and 'lin' packages in the relevant sections of
+  the manual.  The former helps set fonts and switch between font
+  presents.  The latter is a stylistic variant of hl-line (its
+  documentation explains its raison d'être).

+Modus themes version 2.4.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2022-06-01
+
+This entry documents the changes made to the project since the
+publication of version 2.3.0 on 2022-04-01.  It spans more than 60
+commits to an already stable project.
+
+The 'modus-operandi' and 'modus-vivendi' themes are built into Emacs-28
+(next stable release) or later, and are available on GNU ELPA as well as
+other archives.  Emacs-28 ships version 1.6.0, while the current
+'master' branch (i.e. Emacs-29) and, by extension, GNU ELPA include the
+latest tagged release.  The packaged version is available as
+'modus-themes'.

+
+Messages about invalid face attributes while using the centaur-tabs
+===================================================================
+
+I mentioned this issue in the previous change log as well: upstream does
+not allow us to use indirection in faces (the ':inherit' attribute).
+This is not our bug.  It is standard behaviour for themes to use
+inheritance.
+
+I have an open pull request on the matter (since 2022-02-24):
+<https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs/pull/179>.

+
+Support for new faces or face groups
+====================================
+
+Directly supported
+------------------
+
+These are packages whose faces we override to make them work with the
+themes.
+
+- 'calibredb'.  I have tried to limit the wanton use of colour in the
+  relevant buffers and also align the package with the overall style of
+  the themes.  The currently selected line is affected by the user
+  option 'modus-themes-hl-line'.
+
+  Thanks to Ivan Popovych for the feedback on the official mailing list:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C87zgkgroi7.fsf%40gmail.com%3E>.
+
+  Ivan also introduced some new faces to 'calibredb', which I helped
+  test.  See: <https://github.com/chenyanming/calibredb.el/pull/60>.
+
+- 'ein' (Emacs IPython Notebook).  We support its code blocks with the
+  appropriate colouration, while avoiding exaggerations.  Thanks to
+  Maxime Tréca for the feedback in issue 31 over at the GitHub mirror:
+  <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/31>.
+
+- 'tree-sitter'.  My intent was to reduce the overall colouration
+  produced by the default 'tree-sitter' faces.  These tweaks give us
+  good results, though there still are some cases where 'tree-sitter'
+  exaggerates the styles it uses, such as by combining types with
+  constants to produce ad-hoc (anonymous) faces.  We cannot do anything
+  about anonymous faces at the theme level.  As such, we may get an
+  additional bold weight (when 'modus-themes-bold-constructs' is
+  non-nil) when we would rather not have it and/or a different colour
+  than the one desired.
+
+  Thanks to Przemysław Kryger for the feedback in issue 303 over at the
+  GitLab mirror: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/303>.
+
+  If you are involved in the 'tree-sitter' project, please eliminate all
+  anonymous faces and replace them with symbols (i.e. defface) that are
+  editable by the user/theme.  You are welcome to contact me if you need
+  help/ideas.
+
+- 'vundo'
+
+
+Indirectly supported
+--------------------
+
+These are packages that either (i) inherit from base faces we already
+support, or (ii) use colours from the Modus themes' palette.  A list of
+them is available in the manual.
+
+- egerrit.  an in-development package by Niklas Eklund which provides an
+  Emacs interface to Gerrit: <https://git.sr.ht/~niklaseklund/egerrit>.
+
+
+Changes to supported face
+=========================
+
+- Reworked the internal functions that handle the styling of diffs to
+  allow the user option 'modus-themes-deuteranopia' to combine with the
+  styles of the 'modus-themes-diffs' option.
+
+  Before, when 'modus-themes-deuteranopia' was non-nil it would affect
+  diffs by forcibly applying the default style of 'modus-themes-diffs'
+  (fairly prominent background colours) with the primary difference of
+  replacing greens with blues.
+
+  Now all combinations work as expected.  For example:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-deuteranopia t
+            modus-themes-diffs 'desaturated) ; nil, 'desaturated, 'bg-only
+
+  Thanks to Kevin Le Gouguec for the feedback on the mailing list:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C878rqt4jhm.fsf@gmail.com%3E>
+
+- Conducted a major (and highly demanding) review of the colours used by
+  Avy in the interest of optimising the contrast between its constructs.
+  Read the analysis: <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-04-20-modus-themes-case-study-avy/>.
+
+  Thanks to Daniel Mendler and Damien Cassou for their feedback on the
+  mailing list:
+
+  - <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C83f18e2e-d726-0248-72f5-95e896cbcf4c%40daniel-mendler.de%3E>
+  - <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C87czhgt5nm.fsf%40cassou.me%3E>
+
+- Updated the 'vertico-quick' faces to be consistent with Avy.
+
+- Made the 'line-number' face conform with the user option
+  'modus-themes-mixed-fonts'.  This means that if the user option is
+  non-nil, line numbers of 'display-line-numbers-mode' will use a
+  monospaced typeface at all times (inheriting the 'fixed-pitch' face,
+  as explained in the themes' manual).  Otherwise they use whatever font
+  the 'default' face has.  This makes it better when the user enables
+  'variable-pitch-mode' but still wants spacing-sensitive constructs to
+  remain monospaced.
+
+  Thanks to Christopher League for the feedback in issue 302 over at the
+  GitLab mirror: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/302>.
+
+- Aligned the regexp construct faces with the meaning of the user option
+  'modus-themes-bold-constructs'.  They will use a bold weight only when
+  the user option is non-nil.  This design is consistent with all other
+  aspects of syntax highlighting.  These specific faces were
+  unconditionally bold due to a mistake of mine.
+
+  Remember to check the manual on what "a bold weight" means, as we make
+  everything easy to customise (e.g. if you prefer a semibold weight):
+  <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes#h:2793a224-2109-4f61-a106-721c57c01375>.
+
+- Removed the typographic emphasis from the 'file-name-shadow' face by
+  no longer inheriting the 'italic' face.  Thanks to Nicolas De Jaeghere
+  for the patch.
+
+  [ Nicolas has assigned copyright to the Free Software Foundation. ]
+
+- Stopped using the 'inverse-video' face attribute in 'powerline'.  We
+  now apply the colours directly.  The reason is that 'inverse-video'
+  makes it tricky to override the face as it swaps the foreground with
+  the background.  That behaviour is only needed in special cases:
+  'powerline' is not one of them.
+
+  Thanks to Thibaut Verron for the feedback in issue 305 over at the
+  GitLab mirror: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/305>.
+
+- Ensured that git commit/rebase comments (as seen in the workflow of
+  the 'magit' package) inherit from appropriate font-lock faces.  This
+  makes it possible to customise 'font-lock-comment-face' and have the
+  changes apply to those elements as well.  Such a customisation can,
+  for example, involve the change of the font family or the addition of
+  a background colour.  We want the whole comment block, including those
+  special keywords from Git, to look consistent. This change also makes
+  git-{commit,rebase}-comment-heading attain the foreground colour of
+  comments, instead of the default one (black or white), making it look
+  part of the comment block.
+
+- Tweaked the 'fountain' package comments to be the same as all others.
+  This avoids inconsistencies, such as when the user opts for something
+  like the following:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-syntax '(yellow-comments))
+
+- Disabled padding in the 'keycast' package, meaning that the box around
+  the key indicator always has the same height, even if the user opts
+  for a padding value in 'modus-themes-mode-line' (read the manual or
+  its doc string for how to assign a padding).
+
+  This is in response to a change upstream that introduces the
+  'keycast-tab-bar-mode', which re-uses the faces that were originally
+  intended for the mode line in the tab-bar.  Ideally, upstream will
+  provide distinct faces for each context so that we can have padding in
+  the mode line but not the tab-bar.  However, I have not had the
+  opportunity to suggest such a change and/or prepare the relevant patch
+  (it is not straightforward).
+
+- Refined some colour combinations for the "alternative syntax" style
+  that is available when the user option 'modus-themes-syntax' includes
+  the 'alt-syntax' property.  These tweaks pertain to changes in hue
+  that improve the appearance of certain faces in their context.
+
+- Enabled conditional use of 'fixed-pitch' for key bindings.  This
+  happens when the user option 'modus-themes-mixed-fonts' is non-nil
+  (all spacing-sensitive elements become monospaced even if the user
+  opts for a default font that is proportionately spaced or activates
+  the 'variable-pitch-mode').  Thanks to Manuel Giraud for the patch.
+
+  [ Manuel has assigned copyright to the Free Software Foundation. ]
+
+- Covered the face rotation option of 'highlight-changes-mode'.  It is
+  done with the 'highlight-changes-rotate-faces' command when
+  'highlight-changes-mode' is enabled (the mode is built into Emacs).
+
+  Thanks to Philip Kaludercic for the feedback on the mailing list:
+  https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/<878rs14il4.fsf@posteo.net>
+
+
+Updates to the manual
+=====================
+
+- Acknowledged Andrew Tropin as one of the contributors to the Guix
+  package of the Modus themes.  The latest patch to that end:
+  <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55268>.
+
+- Rewrote the note on 'fill-column-indicator' to show how the user can
+  use a thicker line than the one we style by default.
+
+- Wrote a note in manual about 'php-mode' multiline comments which use
+  the 'font-lock-doc-face' instead of 'font-lock-comment-face'.  Sample
+  code is provided to ensure consistency between all types of comments.
+
+- Added note about custom 'hl-todo' colours, specifically the user
+  option 'hl-todo-keyword-faces' (which the themes customise as an
+  exception to the rule, otherwise the default colours would not always
+  be accessible).
+
+  This is in relation to the mailing list thread on the matter with
+  feedback from Vincent Foley and Christian Tietze:
+  <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3C871qwh1r88.fsf%40era.co%3E>.
+
+- Elaborated on the style of 'git-gutter' faces in Doom Emacs, which are
+  not as the Modus themes intend.  Basically, the problem is that Doom
+  changes the way that package draws its bitmaps: the faces we configure
+  no longer appear as intended and sensitive colouration is lost.
+
+  Thanks to Gonçalo Marrafa for reporting the issue, testing the code we
+  recommend on Doom Emacs, and suggesting the inclusion of the reference
+  to the 'after!' call (a macro that Doom defines).

+- Stopped using a timestamp in the modus-themes.el file.  It could lead
+  to situations where there was a mismatch between the latest change and
+  the recorded time.  It also introduced a barrier to entry for
+  contributors, as they need to set up 'time-stamp.el'.
+
+- Removed the unnecessary 'require' call to the 'seq' library and made
+  the necessary changes.  Thanks to Daniel Mendler for the patch.
+
+  [ Daniel has assigned copyright to the Free Software Foundation. ]
+
+- Applied the correct order of inheritance for all markup faces.  This
+  fixes a problem where not all typographic attributes where applied to
+  the faces when 'modus-themes-mixed-fonts' was non-nil and the value of
+  'modus-themes-markup' included '(bold italic)'.
+
+- Tweaked how 'org-date' conditionally uses 'fixed-pitch'.  Basically,
+  we remove an internal stylistic inconsistency.  There is no
+  user-facing change.  Thanks to Manuel Giraud for the patch.
+
+- Implemented the command 'modus-themes-report-bug'.  It might help
+  users find the email address of the mailing list and get started with
+  the email-centric workflow of SourceHut.  Note this is but a first
+  step in that direction.  If you think it can be improved, please
+  report as much (or send a patch).
+
+- Included the command 'modus-themes-version', which prints in the echo
+  area the current version of the package.  With an optional prefix
+  argument, it inserts the string at point.
+
+  The version either is the last tagged release, such as '2.4.0', or an
+  in-development version like '2.5.0-dev'.  As we use semantic
+  versioning, tags of the '2.4.1' sort are not considered: those would
+  count as part of '2.5.0-dev'.

+Modus themes version 2.3.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2022-04-01
+
+This entry documents the changes made to the project since the
+publication of version 2.2.0 on 2022-02-23.  It spans more than 70
+commits.
+
+To access the URL of the manual visit:
+<https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes>.  Or read it in the Emacs
+Info reader by evaluating:
+
+    (info "(modus-themes) Top")
+
+The 'modus-operandi' and 'modus-vivendi' themes are built into Emacs-28
+(next stable release) or later, and are available on GNU ELPA as well as
+other archives.  Emacs-28 ships version 1.6.0, while the current
+'master' branch (i.e. Emacs-29) and, by extension, GNU ELPA include the
+latest tagged release.
+
+
+Customisation options
+=====================
+
+,* The 'modus-themes-completions' now accepts a 'text-also' property for
+  the 'selection' key.  This has the effect of colourising the current
+  line's text.  Whereas the default does not change the text colour,
+  re-using whatever underlying colours are available.  Consult the doc
+  string of this user option, as it provides for fine-grained control of
+  how completion UIs may look.  Thanks to Morgan Willcock whose feedback
+  in issue 278 inspired me to add the 'text-also' property:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/278>.
+
+,* The 'modus-themes-box-buttons' now accepts an 'all-buttons' property.
+  It applies whatever other style is used for the boxed buttons to the
+  generic 'widget.el'.  By default, the faces of 'widget.el' do not look
+  like graphical buttons: they have a bold weight and a foreground
+  colour instead.  Examples where those are used are the Notmuch "hello"
+  buffer and the main view of the 'elfeed-summary' package.  Thanks to
+  Daniel Mendler, Rudolf Adamkovič, and Tony Zorman for their feedback
+  in issue 296: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/296>.
+
+,* The 'modus-themes-intense-mouseovers' is a boolean user option which
+  makes mouse hover effects more intense when set to a non-nil value.
+  By default, mouseovers use a cyan background value.  This changes it
+  to a more prominent blue.  Thanks to John Haman for the feedback in
+  issue 290: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/290>.
+
+,* The user options 'modus-themes-box-buttons', 'modus-themes-mode-line',
+  'modus-themes-org-agenda', and 'modus-themes-headings' can now read a
+  number value as a cons cell.  The old method of a plain number
+  continues to work.  This makes it possible to be more descriptive on
+  what a given value signifies.  Each doc string describes the
+  technicalities.  Here are samples that yield identical results:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-mode-line '(accented 0.9 borderless 2))
+      (setq modus-themes-mode-line '(accented (heigh 0.9) borderless (padding 2)))
+
+  Thanks to Daniel Mendler for proposing this idea in issue 282:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/282#note_842257619>

+
+Attempted bug fix for byte compiled files
+=========================================
+
+Quoting from the git log:
+
+    commit f067d2ef39c22174b95584f2cba7942aaf03bcca
+    Author: Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com>
+    Date:   Thu Mar 3 06:52:31 2022 +0200
+
+        Reify themes with eval-and-compile
+
+        This is an attempt to fix a bug that has existed since version 1.2.0 of
+        the themes or even earlier.
+
+        The bug is about a mismatch between compiled code and runtime
+        dependencies.  The runtime expects the current version while the
+        compiled code only furnishes an outdated one, thus resulting in an
+        error.  This only happens when:
+
+        1. Private functions change to accept more/fewer arguments.
+        2. Variables change their acceptable value (e.g. from symbol to list).
+        3. The user is installing the package via the package.el mechanism which
+           takes care of byte compilation (though anything that mimics
+           package.el should exhibit the same behaviour).
+
+        My understanding is that the cause was the limited scope of the
+        'eval-and-compile' we had before: it would run the 'require' also at
+        compile time, whereas the 'modus-themes-theme' macro, which reifies the
+        actual theme, would only be evaluated at runtime.  Hence the mismatch as
+        'require' would read the already installed byte code while the macro
+        would expect newer forms.
+
+        Wrapping everything in the 'eval-and-compile' should address this
+        problem.  Hopefully it will not engender new ones...

+Newly supported packages
+========================
+
+These are added to the already comprehensive coverage we guarantee.
+
+Directly supported:
+
+,* devdocs.  Thanks to Augusto Stoffel, its developer, for the feedback
+  which was sent via email.
+
+,* mini-modeline.  Thanks to Julio C. Villasante for the feedback in
+  issue 24 over at the GitHub mirror:
+  <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/24>.
+
+Indirectly supported (they use faces that we already cover):
+
+,* elfeed-summary
+,* undo-hl
+
+
+Changes to supported faces or packages
+======================================
+
+,* Improved the colours used by 'avy' to always guarantee constrast in
+  hueness between side-by-side characters with a variety of user
+  settings.  I tried various styles, such as:
+      
+      (setq avy-style 'pre)
+      (setq avy-style 'at-full)
+
+  For the sake of completeness, I also ran tests by modifying the
+  'avy-lead-faces' (which is a 'defconst', not a 'defcustom'):
+      
+      (setq avy-lead-faces
+            '(avy-lead-face
+              avy-lead-face-0
+              avy-lead-face-2
+              avy-lead-face
+              avy-lead-face-0
+              avy-lead-face-2))
+
+      (setq avy-lead-faces
+            '(avy-lead-face
+              avy-lead-face-1
+              avy-lead-face-1
+              avy-lead-face-1
+              avy-lead-face-1))
+
+      (setq avy-lead-faces
+            '(avy-lead-face
+              avy-lead-face-2
+              avy-lead-face-2
+              avy-lead-face-2
+              avy-lead-face-2))
+
+,* Updated the 'vertico-quick' faces to keep them aligned with the new
+  Avy styles.  Thanks to Daniel Mendler (Vertico's developer) for the
+  reminder:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/commit/404a9658196debdde95a51148fc62c5b2faccfb9#note_856454659>.
+  
+,* Applied warmer though still not saturated colours for Org clocking
+  overlays.  The previous style could be mistaken for a mouse highlight
+  or the highlighted line if 'modus-themes-hl-line' included the
+  properties 'intense' and 'accented'.  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for
+  the feedback in issue 293:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/293>.
+
+,* Broadened coverage of the built-in 'shr.el' library to include the new
+  'shr-code' face (Emacs 29).
+
+,* Expanded support for the 'embark' package by covering its new
+  'embark-collect-marked' face.  Thanks to Daniel Mendler for the
+  feedback in issue 299:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/299>.
+
+,* Made the 'fill-column-indicator' a contiguous line.  It was a dashed
+  line before, per the Emacs defaults, which led to awkward results
+  depending on the font family and value of 'line-spacing'.  Thanks to
+  Daniel Mendler for the feedback in issue 297:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/297>.
+
+,* Added explicit support for the built-in 'separator-line' face in order
+  to refine its presentation.  This is present in 'M-x shortdoc' buffers
+  (Emacs 28).  Thanks to Daniel Mendler for the feedback in issue 297:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/297>.
+
+,* Applied explicit styling to the generic 'underline' face in order to
+  ensure its consistent colouration.  The problem before was that an
+  underline that spanned text with distinct colours would inherit the
+  colour of the affected character.  A uniform presentation makes
+  everything easier to read.
+
+,* The 'ement.el' Matrix client now uses a subtle background for username
+  mentions and/or quoted text.  This is consistent with how other Matrix
+  clients style such constructs.  Thanks to Adam Porter (aka
+  "alphapapa"), the developer of ement.el, for explaining the
+  technicalities and providing the relevant feedback in issue 25 over at
+  the GitHub mirror: <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/25>.
+
+,* Enforced consistency between 'icomplete' and 'ido'.  The first match
+  was coloured differently in 'ido-mode' by mistake.  Thanks to Morgan
+  Willcock for the feedback in issue 278:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/278>.
+
+,* Used the main foreground for Company's tooltip.  This is how it should
+  have been.  Corfu is designed that way as well.  Thanks to user okamsn
+  for the feedback in issue 278:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/278>.
+
+,* Corrected an omission whereby the AUCTeX verbatim face was not
+  consistent with other such faces.  Now it too is governed by the user
+  option 'modus-themes-markup'.
+
+,* Fixed the 'centaur-tabs' invalid background message.  Thanks to
+  Lennart C. Karssen for reporting the bug in issue 288:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/288>.  Note,
+  however, that the problem is due to some decisions made upstream.  My
+  patch has not been merged yet (open since 2022-02-24):
+  <https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs/pull/179>.  Given this
+  opportunity, always anticipate that faces may ':inherit' from others
+  and thus functions like 'face-background' might return an undesirable
+  nil value if used without a fallback.
+
+
+Miscellaneous
+=============
+
+,* Made the 'modus-themes--current-theme' return the first Modus theme
+  instead of the 'car' of 'custom-enabled-themes'.  This makes the
+  themes work at all times even when the user has multiple of them
+  enabled.  Thanks to Pierre Téchoueyres for the patch, which was sent
+  via email with regard to Emacs bug#54598:
+  <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=54598>.
+
+,* Implemented compile-time requirement for built-in libraries to be sure
+  that the themes work in all cases.  Thanks to Antonio Hernández Blas
+  for reporting in issue 292 the bug with the old design that assumed
+  the 'cl-lib' and 'subr-x' as already loaded:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/292>.
+
+,* Wrote in the manual how to achieve a monochrome style (with
+  permutations) for code syntax highlighting.  Thanks to Augusto Stoffel
+  for sharing the idea via an email exchange (this information is
+  divulged with permission).
+
+,* Clarified some statements in the manual's section about the nuances in
+  "enabling" and "loading" a theme.
+
+,* Documented how the applicable palette affects the outer boundaries of
+  the colour range that terminal emulators set when Emacs is ran without
+  a GUI.  Here "the palette" refers to the relevant 16 ANSI escape
+  sequences (terminal colours 0 through 15).  For the sake of
+  convenience, the node includes ready-to-use palettes for XTerm, which
+  can be adapted to other terminal emulators.  This entry complements an
+  existing one on improving the colour accuracy in terminal emulators.
+
+,* Used American English constructions in a few places such as "color"
+  instead of "colour" as that is what core Emacs expects (and the themes
+  are part of emacs.git).
+
+,* Updated the description of the themes to be more user-friendly.
+  Instead of "Highly accessible themes (WCAG AAA)" we now have "Elegant,
+  highly legible and customizable themes".  Nothing changes in terms of
+  substance.  Thanks to Jorge Morais for the feedback.
+
+,* Clarified that the version of the themes which is built into Emacs
+  does not use 'require'.  It is in response to this thread:
+  <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2022-03/msg00049.html>.
+  Thanks to Philip Kaludercic for bringing the issue to my attention.
+
+,* Improved the code samples that show how to set up the package.
+
+,* Wrote the correct symbols for some obsoletion forms.
+
+Thanks once again to everyone involved!

+Modus themes version 2.2.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2022-02-23
+
+The present entry records the changes made to the project since the
+publication of version 2.1.0 on 2022-02-17.  This spans about 10 commits
+(though one of them is massive).  Normally the release cycle occurs over
+periods of 4-5 weeks.  This is a necessary exception.
+
+To access the URL of the manual visit this web page:
+<https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes>.  Or read it in the Emacs
+Info reader by evaluating this form:
+
+    (info "(modus-themes) Top")
+
+The 'modus-operandi' and 'modus-vivendi' themes are built into Emacs-28
+(next stable release) or later, and are available on GNU ELPA as well as
+other archives.  Emacs-28 ships version 1.6.0, while the current
+'master' branch (i.e. Emacs-29) and, by extension, GNU ELPA include the
+latest tagged release.
+
+
+Initialisation of user options
+==============================
+
+Removed a superfluous default value that hampered the initialisation of
+defcustom forms in the M-x customize interface.  Things would still
+work, but the interface was not looking right while editing the relevant
+variables.  Thanks to Gustavo Barros for reporting the bug in issue 267:
+<https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/267>.
+
+
+Refactor 'modus-themes-completions'
+===================================
+
+Implemented thoroughgoing reforms across all completion User Interfaces
+(UIs) in order to make them more flexible/powerful and harmonise their
+looks.
+
+'modus-themes-completions' now accepts an alist instead of a symbol.
+Each cons cell is in the form of '(key . list-of-properties)'.  The doc
+string describes all the details.
+
+In terms of out-of-the-box appearences, all completion UIs have a subtle
+aesthetic.  This was always the case for the likes of Vertico, Icomplete
+(Fido), and related, though it constitutes a marked departure from what
+Ivy and Helm used to look like.  Users of the latter two can still get
+the more colourful or intense style with something like this:
+
+    (setq modus-themes-completions '((matches . (background intense))
+                                     (selection . (accented intense))
+                                     (popup . (accented intense))))
+
+Or simply:
+
+    (setq modus-themes-completions '((t background intense accented)))
+
+The documentation explains all those associations in-depth.  There also
+are other styles on offer (and combinations thereof).
+
+Furthermore, the new 'modus-themes-completions' encompasses more UIs
+than its predecessor, including Company and Corfu.
+
+In the interest of theme-wide consistency, all applicable faces have
+been reviewed.
+
+Finally, note that the previous tagged release also made changes on this
+front, but it did not disrupt the status quo that was in place from
+before the release of version 1.0.0 of the themes (more than a year
+ago).  In other words, it tried to make unnecessary compromises within
+the confines of an outdated design that did not fit in with the rest of
+the code base.  The new 'modus-themes-completions' might require manual
+intervention from users who want to customise things to their liking,
+though I feel this change is to our long-term benefit.
+
+Thanks to Daniel Mendler and Rudolf Adamkovič for their feedback in
+issue 278: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/278>.
+And thanks to Kenta Usami for recommending the use of a warning in issue
+286: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/286>.
+
+
+Miscellaneous changes
+=====================
+
++ Removed the pseudo-button effect from the 'org-checkbox' face.  It was
+  not up-to-date with the current style of the rest of the themes,
+  including the Org constructs for source block delimiters, the TODO
+  keywords, the priority cookies (e.g. '[#A]'), and others.
+
++ Introduced a section in the manual which provides an alternative to
+  the standard 'modus-themes-toggle' that leverages 'enable-theme'
+  instead of 'load-theme' under the hood.  These technicalities are all
+  explained in the manual.
+
++ Provided an alternative greyscale palette subset for 'modus-operandi'
+  in the manual's section about overriding colours.
+
++ Added support for the built-in 'custom-variable-obsolete' face.
+
++ Fixed typo in the 'modus-themes-box-buttons' variable.  Thanks to
+  Illia Ostapyshyn for the patch in merge request 58:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/58>.

+Modus themes version 2.1.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2022-02-17
+
+The present entry records the changes made to the project since the
+publication of version 2.0.0 on 2021-12-24.  There have been more than
+110 commits in the meantime (and this log is close to 5000 words).
+
+All modifications of colour combinations mentioned herein are made in
+accordance with the primary accessibility objective of the themes for a
+minimum contrast ratio of 7:1 between background and foreground values
+in their given combination (the WCAG AAA standard for relative colour
+luminance).  Edits also account for colour-coding that is optimised for
+the needs of users with red-green colour deficiency (deuteranopia).
+
+To access the URL of the manual visit this web page:
+<https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes>.  Or read it in the Emacs
+Info reader by evaluating this form:
+
+    (info "(modus-themes) Top")
+
+The 'modus-operandi' and 'modus-vivendi' themes are built into Emacs-28
+(next stable release) or later, and are available on GNU ELPA as well as
+other archives.  Emacs-28 ships version 1.6.0, while the current
+'master' branch (i.e. Emacs-29) and, by extension, GNU ELPA include the
+latest tagged release.
+
+
+Commands
+========
+
+The following produce a buffer that previews the colour palette of the
+given theme ('modus-operandi' or 'modus-vivendi').
+
+,* 'modus-themes-list-colors' prompts for a theme before producing the
+  preview.
+
+,* 'modus-themes-list-colors-current' uses the current Modus theme.
+
+These commands are useful to anyone who wants to reference a named
+colour from the themes or copy a colour value, such as for the purposes
+of user-level customisation (as documented at length in the manual
+across several use-cases and with the inclusion of custom code).
+
+The commands are not bound to any key.
+
+
+Customisation options
+=====================
+
+,* Implemented the 'modus-themes-markup' variable, which supersedes the
+  now-deprecated 'modus-themes-intense-markup'.  The new user option
+  accepts a list of properties (symbols).  It affects constructs such as
+  Org's =verbatim=, ~code~, and macro (with three pairs of braces).  By
+  default, when this user option is either nil or an empty list, the
+  affected constructs only have a foreground colour (e.g. Org verbatim
+  is magenta).  Properties that change this style are:
+
+  1. 'italic' for an added slant to the text.
+  2. 'bold' for a heavier weight.
+  3. 'background' to add a background colour.
+  4. 'intense' to amplify the colouration (especially of 'background').
+
+  As with all user options which accept a list of properties, the order
+  of the symbols is no significant.  In user configurations it may look
+  like this:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-markup '(background intense bold))
+
+  [ Read the manual for bold and italic fonts.  We do not hardcode a
+    :weight or :slant, instead giving the user the option to set their
+    own values.  The defaults are what you would normally expect from
+    "bold" and "italic". ]
+
+  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for reporting some problems with the old
+  design in issue 274:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/274>.
+
+,* Added the 'modus-themes-box-buttons' which affects all pseudo
+  graphical buttons, such as those found in Custom UI buffers or EWW web
+  pages which include search forms and the like.  The variable accepts a
+  list of properties as its value.  By default (nil or empty list),
+  buttons have a grey background and the familiar 3D effect.  Valid
+  properties are:
+
+  1. 'flat' to remove the 3D effect.
+  2. 'accented' to shift the colouration away from grey.
+  3. 'faint' to reduce the overall colouration (e.g. grey becomes white).
+  4. 'variable-pitch' to apply a proportionately spaced font.
+  5. 'underline' to draw a line instead of applying a 3D or flat box
+     (particularly useful for those who use Emacs in a terminal emulator).
+  6. The symbol of a font weight, such as 'bold', 'semibold', 'light' or
+     any one among those included in the 'modus-themes-weights' constant
+     (the underlying font family has to support the given weight).
+  7. A number, expressed as a floating point (e.g. 0.9), which adjusts
+     the height of the button’s text to that many times the base font
+     size.  The default height is the same as 1.0, though it need not be
+     explicitly stated.
+
+  The order in which those symbols appear in the list is not
+  significant.  If 'underline' and 'flat' are both specified, the former
+  takes precedence.  In user init files the form may look like this:
+
+    (setq modus-themes-box-buttons '(variable-pitch flat semilight 0.9))
+
+  Thanks to Daniel Mendler for suggesting this user option and providing
+  the relevant feedback in issue 282:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/282>.
+
+,* Expanded the 'modus-themes-mail-citations' with an 'intense' variant.
+  For example:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-mail-citations 'intense)
+
+  The default is a moderately coloured style.  Other variants include
+  'faint' for subtle colouration and 'monochrome' for an all-grey look.
+
+,* Reviewed the 'modus-themes-completion' option and harmonised all the
+  face specifications it governs.  The variable now accepts a fourth
+  stylistic variant in 'super-opinionated': it is like the 'opinionated'
+  one though some details are even more pronounced.  Other noteworthy
+  items:
+
+  [ Remember to read the doc string of 'modus-themes-completions', which
+    explains the grouping of the completion UIs. ]
+
+  - The (setq modus-themes-completions 'moderate) style is more-or-less
+    the same across all completion UIs.  The highlight applied to the
+    current line is a bespoke shade of blue, the characters are less
+    saturated than before and their hues are different, though the
+    overall effect should still feel "sufficiently colourful, but not
+    overdone".
+
+  - The (setq modus-themes-completions nil) is the same as before.
+    However:
+
+      - The current line in Ivy now uses a shade of blue that is
+        specific to completion UIs instead of an intense cyan
+        background.  This is for theme-wide consistency.
+
+      - Helm's current line has the same bespoke blue for its current
+        line instead of another shade of blue it was using before.
+
+  - The (setq modus-themes-completions 'opinionated) should be the same
+    as before, notwithstanding the aforementioned tweaks to Ivy/Helm.
+
+  - The (setq modus-themes-completions 'super-opinionated) for
+    Icomplete, Vertico, Selectrum, Mct uses the same blue for the
+    current line as is the default of Ivy and Helm.
+
+  Miscellaneous:
+
+  - The relevant private helper functions were rewritten.
+
+  - We declare a few faces to help streamline certain styles.
+
+  - Ivy action keys now inherit from 'modus-themes-key-binding'.  We
+    generally try to make all keys look the same, except when that would
+    be detrimental to the usability of the given context/interface.
+
+  - Some Ivy faces are simplified or otherwise tweaked to fit in with
+    the rest of the theme.
+
+  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for the feedback about Vertico in issues
+  214 and 278 which prompted me to review all completion UIs:
+
+  - <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/214>
+  - <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/278>
+
+,* Adjusted the applicable hues in some 'modus-themes-syntax' variants.  In
+  particular:
+
+  - The strings' hue has more hints of blue when 'modus-themes-syntax'
+    includes the 'green-strings' property.  Such as:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-syntax '(green-strings))
+      (setq modus-themes-syntax '(alt-syntax green-strings))
+      (setq modus-themes-syntax '(alt-syntax green-strings faint))
+      (setq modus-themes-syntax '(alt-syntax green-strings faint yellow-comments))
+
+  - Strings are more orange/yellow than red when 'modus-themes-syntax'
+    includes the 'alt-syntax' property but NOT the 'green-strings'.  For
+    example:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-syntax '(alt-syntax))
+      (setq modus-themes-syntax '(alt-syntax yellow-comments))
+      (setq modus-themes-syntax '(alt-syntax yellow-comments faint))
+
+  - Backslashes for regexp constructs are coloured appropriately to look
+    distinct from the rest of the string and from the escaped construct in
+    all cases.
+
+,* Removed background colours from the the default style of Org block
+  delimiters.
+
+  As I explained in Emacs bug#52587,[1] Org has code that overrides
+  themes which prefer not to extend the block delimiter faces to the
+  edge of the window (as we would like to do by default).  This
+  practically means that we cannot have backgrounds for those lines and
+  keep them limited to the stretch of area covered by their text.
+
+  As such, the default for Org block delimiter lines now is a gray
+  foreground with no distinct background colour.  The user option
+  'modus-themes-org-blocks' provides "blocky" alternatives that use
+  background colours---those extend to the edge of the window.
+
+  [1] <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=52587#46>
+
+,* Deleted the compatibility layer for all user options that used to
+  accept symbols in the past but now expect a list of symbols.  The
+  manual contains a snippet with all customisation options for those who
+  do not want to read all the relevant doc strings.  Evaluate this:
+
+      (info "(modus-themes) Customization Options")
+
+  Or visit: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes#h:bf1c82f2-46c7-4eb2-ad00-dd11fdd8b53f>.
+
+  The original plan was to remove those during the transition to version
+  2.0.0 (about a month ago) though I changed my mind thinking they would
+  not pose a longer-term problem.
+
+  New information by Mark Bestley in issue 272 shows that this kind of
+  complexity can lead to errors:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/272#note_826725412>.
+
+  So it is better to keep things simple and ask users to configure all
+  user options based on the up-to-date documentation.
+
+  Also thanks to Saša Janiška for the feedback in issue 272.

+
+New indirectly supported packages
+---------------------------------
+
+These inherit from base faces and look good enough already or use
+appropriate colours from the Modus themes:
+
+,* dtache
+,* org-remark
+
+
+Changes to supported faces or face groups
+=========================================
+
+,* Stopped making key bindings look like boxes.  We revert to the old
+  style we were using before the introduction of the 'help-key-binding'
+  face (Emacs 28).
+
+  By default Emacs 28 or higher will render all key bindings it
+  identifies with a box around them.  The idea is to make them look like
+  keys on a keyboard, which I never really liked because without
+  generous padding you get a very tight space between the character and
+  the box's borders which can look weird at small point sizes (Emacs
+  faces do not have padding in the same way CSS does).
+
+  I tried following the default style for a few months and have concluded
+  that it is not good enough for our purposes (my preferences
+  notwithstanding):
+
+  - The box attribute does not work in terminal emulators.  This means
+    that keys only get a subtle grey background and the default
+    foreground, which can be hard to make them stand out from their
+    surrounding text if the font height is small and/or the keybinding is
+    short (e.g. a single character).
+
+  - The box and grey background combination limits our options when we
+    need to colour-code different types of keys.  For example, the
+    'which-key' package can show TAB as T and applies to it a different
+    face to make the distinction obvious.  In that case, the presence of
+    the tight box makes the use of a bold weight inappropriate: the
+    character and the box's borders seem to overlap.  While the grey
+    background limits our choice of colour as, for instance, yellow
+    never looks good against it.  Same principle for interfaces that can
+    have colour-coded keys like 'transient' and 'hydra', where we lose
+    much-needed flexibility.
+
+,* Adjusted the brightness of the 'which-key-special-key-face'.  This is
+  the face that applies to special keys.  For example:
+
+      (setq which-key-special-keys '("SPC" "TAB" "RET" "ESC" "DEL"))
+
+,* Made 'transient' faces which are supposed to be de-emphasise certain
+  elements inherit the 'shadow' face.  This is an implicit customisation
+  option, as it allows the user to adjust the foreground value of all
+  "less important" constructs simply by changing the 'shadow' face.
+
+,* Covered the 'transient-purple' face (these are like the colour-coding
+  of 'hydra').
+
+,* Tweaked the 'transient-argument' and 'transient-value' faces to make
+  things look a bit more consistent with the other transient faces.
+  This is to avoid potential conflicts with the highlighted key
+  bindings, especially when transient uses hydra-style colour-coded
+  keys.
+
+,* Applied the same metaphors for key bindings to 'marginalia-key'
+  ('marginalia' package) and 'embark-keybinding' ('embark' package).
+  They inherit the 'modus-themes-key-binding' when possible.  The only
+  exception is with (setq modus-themes-completions nil) where conflicts
+  may arise between the key's style and matching characters of the
+  ongoing completion session.
+
+  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for pointing out the inconsistency in issue
+  278: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/278>.
+
+,* Refrained from treating LaTeX sections as headings.  This is because
+  unlike Org/Outline/Markdown Latex is basically source code, so the
+  sectioning does not work the same way it does for those lightweight
+  markup/outlining modes.
+
+  Furthermore, font-latex.el defines 'font-latex-fontify-sectioning'
+  which can be used to control the scale of those sections.  It makes
+  sense for the themes to not interfere with that design and just allow
+  users to customise things uniformly regardless of the active theme.
+
+  Thanks to Gustavo Barros for the detailed feedback in issue 265:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/265>.
+
+,* Reviewed the hues of 'all-the-icons' and related packages.
+
+,* Applied the correct style to 'info-menu-header', meaning that it now
+  only uses a bold weight as it is not a real heading, instead of being
+  affected by the user option 'modus-themes-headings'.
+
+,* Included new 'telega-entity-type-spoiler' face.  Thanks to bit9tream
+  for informing me about it in issue 271:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/271>.  The
+  conclusion:
+
+      Tricky though perhaps dull
+
+      I understand this is not an interesting topic and it probably is
+      too difficult to relate to the various data points without
+      visualising them and comparing the before and after
+      states. Furthermore, data can be deceptive and I have always
+      maintained that theme development stands at the intersection of
+      science and art (at least for the purposes of conforming with the
+      rigorous accessibility standards of the Modus themes).
+
+      That granted, I wanted to shed light on the “behind the scenes”
+      work that is not immediately obvious when one checks a diff that
+      introduces some seemingly trivial tweaks like '#49d239'->'#49c029'
+      or '#7fcfff'->'#8fbfff'.
+
+,* Tweaked the hues of all graph colours, which are used in the
+  'org-habit' table.  The changes are subtle and should improve the
+  overall usability of the graph.  For the technicalities, read:
+  <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-01-02-review-modus-themes-org-habit-colours/>.
+
+  Also thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for reporting the problem with white
+  text on yellow background in issue 270:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/270>.
+
+,* Styled the 'markdown-highlighting-face'.  This is the face used for
+  text in between double equals signs when the user option
+  'markdown-enable-highlighting-syntax' is non-nil.
+
+,* Amplified the overall colouration of Eldoc's current argument.  It is
+  a yellow foreground with a tinted background.  The blue foreground
+  which was applied before could be hard to tell apart in some cases,
+  especially because it is a common colour that is used elsewhere in the
+  themes.  Whereas the warmer hues are easier to discern, especially
+  while relying only on peripheral vision.
+
+  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for the feedback in issue 275:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/275>.
+
+,* Instructed Geiser to use the same style for its argument as Eldoc
+  (edited the faces 'geiser-font-lock-autodoc-current-arg' and
+  'geiser-font-lock-autodoc-identifier').
+
+,* Made the 'keycast-key' face work when 'modus-themes-mode-line' has a
+  padding value (read the latter doc string or consult the manual).
+
+,* Refined the 'magit' faces for bisect, reflog, sequence, and signature
+  views.  They get a bold weight and, where appropriate, are made to
+  comply with the 'modus-theems-deueteranopia' option (meaning that
+  greens turn into blues).
+
+,* Recoloured 'elfeed' tags from a shade of cyan to magenta, in the
+  interest of theme-wide consistency but also to make them easier to
+  tell apart from the name of the feed.  Also updated the faces used in
+  the header-line to look better in context.
+
+,* Removed the hardcoded ':slant italic' from the 'italic' face, which is
+  consistent with how we do not hardcode ':weight bold' in the 'bold'
+  face.
+
+  Such a design allows users to configure those faces and have the
+  desired slant/weight (and even font family) apply consistently
+  throughout the theme.  Read the manual for further details:
+  <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes#h:2793a224-2109-4f61-a106-721c57c01375>.
+
+  Thanks to user derek-upham for pointing out the inconsistency in issue
+  21 over at the GitHub mirror:
+  <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/21>.
+
+,* Improved the styles that apply to compilation buffers and related.
+  The overarching intent was to reduce the excess colouration, without
+  upsetting expectations and affecting the overall presentation.
+
+  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for the feedback in issue 277:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/277>.
+
+  Note that compilation buffers apply an underline by default.  The
+  manual explains how to change that:
+  <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes#h:420f5a33-c7a9-4112-9b04-eaf2cbad96bd>.
+
+,* Ensured a consistent style for the 'highlight' face across all
+  contexts (typically used for mouse hover effects).  The mode line has
+  an exception when its style includes an accented background (per
+  'modus-themes-mode-line').
+
+  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for the feedback in issue 214:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/214>.
+
+,* Changed the foreground of 'mode-line-emphasis' from blue to purple, in
+  order to avoid potential (albeit unlikely) confusion with other
+  indicators.
+
+,* Desaturated the 'man' and 'woman' foreground value of the bold
+  constructs and tweaked other faces to avoid potential inconsistencies.
+  Thanks to Daniel Mendler for the feedback:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/commit/8080eb1c6c0020ba82e8abaa933d6686327bc616#note_841424489>.
+
+,* Removed certain exaggerations from widgets as seen in the Custom UI
+  and EWW.  Specifically:
+
+  - 'widget-field' does not need to ':extend', as that typically does
+    not look good.
+
+  - 'custom-state' gets a warmer colour to convey its message more
+    effectively.
+
+  - 'eww-form-text' no longer uses a ':box' because that breaks when the
+    widget occupies more than one line.
+
+  - 'eww-form-textarea' can now inherit from 'eww-form-text'.
+
+  Thanks to Daniel Mendler for the feedback on the style of those faces in
+  issue 284: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/284>.
+
+
+The manual
+==========
+
+,* Clarified the wording of 'shr' fonts, which affect 'eww', 'elfeed',
+  'ement', and possibly others.
+
+,* Wrote section on custom Org emphasis faces.  It includes code samples.
+
+,* Answered a Frequently Asked Question on whether the Modus themes are
+  "colour schemes"---they are not and it is important to understand why.
+
+,* Addressed another Frequently Asked Question about porting the themes
+  to other platforms or editors.  Relevant blog posts which explain how
+  complex the issue is and why porting requires the same attention to
+  detail as this project:
+
+  - <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-01-03-modus-themes-port-faq/>.
+  - <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-01-23-base16-modus-themes/>.
+
+,* Improved the sample code in the section about the backdrop of PDF
+  files while using 'pdf-tools'.  Thanks to Utkarsh Singh for the patch,
+  which was sent via email.
+
+,* Provided sample code on an alternative style for Ediff.
+
+  There was a discussion with Philip Kaludercic in issue 273 about making
+  this a defcustom: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/273>.
+
+  I first entertained the notion and did set up a branch for testing
+  purposes.  However, I ultimately decided that such a course of action
+  would establish a bad precedent because then every conceivable stylistic
+  tweak could, in principle, become a user option.  Furthermore, the
+  potential defcustom would introduce too much complexity as Ediff would
+  have to continue to behave as other diffs (per 'modus-themes-diffs') if
+  the user did not want the alternative style.
+
+  As such, documenting how a user can achieve this is the right choice.
+
+,* Fixed internal link in the manual.  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for
+  reporting the problem in issue 277:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/277>.
+
+
+Miscellaneous
+=============
+
+,* Covered workaround for improving the accuracy of colour reproduction
+  in terminal emulators.  The results are still not as good as the
+  graphical version of Emacs, though they are considerably better than
+  before.  Thanks to gitrj95's issue 18 at the GitHub mirror, which
+  prompted me to research this topic:
+  <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/18>.
+
+,* Helped report a bug in the PGTK build of Emacs where a new emacsclient
+  window with the 'modus-vivendi' face would not show the cursor:
+  <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=53073>.  Thanks to
+  contributed to the discussion on issue 7 over at the GitHub mirror:
+  <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/7>
+
+,* Shifted the hue of the intense 'hl-line' from a grey-cyan to a more
+  vivid blue by reducing the relative contribution of the green channel
+  of light.
+
+  The change affects these styles:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-hl-line '(accented intense))
+      (setq modus-themes-hl-line '(accented intense underline))
+
+  Thanks to Rudolf Adamkovič for suggesting a more vivid colour in issue
+  214: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/214>.
+
+,* Recalibrated the 'modus-vivendi' named colour 'bg-paren-match'.
+
+  I wanted to increase its distance relative to the main background,
+  just to be sure that it is easier to spot.  This is achieved by moving
+  the hueness from the yellow to the magenta side of the spectrum.
+
+  Overall, the change is subtle and has no major impact on the contrast
+  ratio relative to the main background and foreground (we need to
+  consider both due to the specifics of show-paren-mode (and related)).
+
+  The results (#5f362f is the old, #6f3355 the new):
+
+      |         | #000000 | #ffffff | #000000 | #ffffff |

+
+  The TBLFM formula for this table (org-mode notation):
+
+      $2='(Λ $1 @1$2);%.2f :: $3='(Λ $1 @1$3);%.2f :: $4='(Δ $1 @1$4) :: $5='(Δ $1 @1$5)
+
+  The Greek letters mean:
+
+      (defalias 'Λ #'modus-themes-contrast)
+      (defalias 'Δ #'color-distance)
+
+,* Expanded the "special" subset of the palette with faint variants of
+  the four backgrounds.  These are reserved for special circumstances,
+  as the name implies.  Below are the contrast values (see
+  'modus-themes-contrast').

+Modus themes version 2.0.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2021-12-24
+
+This entry covers the changes made to the project since the publication
+of version 1.7.0 on 2021-11-18.  There have been more than 90 commits in
+the meantime.  This is a major upgrade with some backward-incompatible
+changes, even though most work was done behind the scenes (i.e. not in
+git commits but local testing) to guarantee the relevance of all
+user-facing styles, code practices, et cetera.
+
+All modifications of colour combinations mentioned herein are made in
+accordance with the primary accessibility objective of the themes for a
+minimum contrast ratio of 7:1 between background and foreground values
+in their given combination (the WCAG AAA standard for relative colour
+luminance).  Edits also account for colour-coding that is optimised for
+the needs of users with red-green colour deficiency (deuteranopia).
+
+To access the URL of the manual visit this web page:
+<https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes>.  Or read it in the Emacs
+Info reader by evaluating this form:
+
+    (info "(modus-themes) Top")
+
+The 'modus-operandi' and 'modus-vivendi' themes are built into Emacs-28
+(next stable release) or later, and are available on GNU ELPA as well as
+other archives.  Emacs-28 ships version 1.6.0, while the current
+'master' branch (i.e. Emacs-29) and, by extension, GNU ELPA include the
+latest tagged release.
+
+A fully fledged org-mode file with the annotated task list for Modus
+themes version 2.0.0 is supplied as complementary material to the
+present entry.  It should be annexed below this text on the announcement
+page: <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2021-12-24-modus-themes-2-0-0/>.
+
+
+Customisation options
+=====================
+
+There are some breaking changes that were necessary to improve the code
+base and make things easier as well as more efficient for end users.
+Please read carefully and apologies in advance for whatever
+inconvenience.
+
+,* The 'modus-themes-variable-pitch-headings' no longer has any effect.
+  Instead, users can specify a 'variable-pitch' property to the list
+  they pass to the 'modus-themes-headings' or 'modus-themes-org-agenda'
+  (examples below).
+
+,* All 'modus-themes-scale-*' options are removed.  Scaling of headings
+  is now handled directly by the user options 'modus-themes-headings'
+  and 'modus-themes-org-agenda' (code samples below).
+
+,* The 'modus-themes-headings' option now accepts a floating point (see
+  function 'floatp') that represents the multiplier relative to the base
+  font size.  This can be used to scale headings accordingly.  Since
+  this option can target individual heading levels (for 1 through 8),
+  users can now implement their desired scale with greater precision.
+  Whereas before it was limited to the first four levels, admittedly for
+  no good reason.
+
+  The newly introduced 'variable-pitch' property can also be applied on
+  a per-level basis (making it easy to combine with existing properties,
+  such as a custom weight, for maximum control).  Example:
+
+      ;; This is an alist: read the manual or its doc string.
+      (setq modus-themes-headings
+            '((1 . (variable-pitch light 1.6))
+              (2 . (overline semibold 1.4))
+              (3 . (monochrome overline 1.2))
+              (4 . (overline 1.1))
+              (t . (rainbow 1.05))))
+
+,* The 'modus-themes-org-agenda' follows the same design as the
+  'modus-themes-headings' where appropriate.  Headings that can be
+  scaled accept a floating point, while those that may be rendered in a
+  proportionately spaced font accept the 'variable-pitch' property.  In
+  addition, a custom font weight is also supported in the relevant
+  places (just as with 'modus-themes-headings').  Overall, the interface
+  can now be tailored to the user's preferences with greater precision.
+
+      ;; This is an alist: read the manual or its doc string.
+      (setq modus-themes-org-agenda
+            '((header-block . (variable-pitch light 1.6))
+              (header-date . (bold-today grayscale underline-today 1.2))
+              (event . (accented varied))
+              (scheduled . uniform)
+              (habit . traffic-light)))
+
+,* The 'modus-themes-scale-small' that was used in the Org agenda
+  interface has been removed.  No replacement is provided, as the
+  downsizing had the undesired effect of breaking the otherwise neat
+  alignment of elements on the grid.
+
+,* The 'modus-themes-mode-line-padding' option has been removed.
+  Instead, users can specify a natural number (positive integer)
+  directly in the list of properties passed to the
+  'modus-themes-mode-line' variable.  This has no effect when the
+  'moody' property is also set, because the Moody library applies its
+  own padding.  For example:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-mode-line '(borderless accented 4))
+
+  Though not related to changes on our end, users of Emacs 29 must now
+  set 'x-use-underline-position-properties' to nil for padding to work
+  properly (due to other adjustments upstream).  This relates to Emacs
+  bug#52324 we had reported:
+  <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=52324>.
+
+,* All deuteranopia styles are consolidated in a single toggle:
+  'modus-themes-deuteranopia'.  The 'modus-themes-success-deuteranopia'
+  is thus rendered obsolete and superseded, while the individual
+  deuteranopia-friendly styles for diffs ('modus-themes-diffs') and the
+  Org agenda's habit graph ('modus-themes-org-agenda') are altogether
+  removed.  As opposed to top-level forms, there is no clean way to
+  notify the user of the deprecation of individual values of a user
+  option.
+
+,* The "foreground only" style has been altogether removed from the user
+  option 'modus-themes-diffs'.  It never was up to the aesthetic
+  standard of the themes even though the colours met the minimum 7:1
+  contrast ratio.  There is a new section in the manual which documents
+  how to implement such a style with user-level configurations.  Short
+  version:
+
+      (defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+        (modus-themes-with-colors
+          (custom-set-faces
+           `(modus-themes-diff-added ((,class :background unspecified :foreground ,green))) ; OR ,blue for deuteranopia
+           `(modus-themes-diff-changed ((,class :background unspecified :foreground ,yellow)))
+           `(modus-themes-diff-removed ((,class :background unspecified :foreground ,red)))
+
+           `(modus-themes-diff-refine-added ((,class :background ,bg-diff-added :foreground ,fg-diff-added)))
+           ;; `(modus-themes-diff-refine-added ((,class :background ,bg-diff-added-deuteran :foreground ,fg-diff-added-deuteran)))
+           `(modus-themes-diff-refine-changed ((,class :background ,bg-diff-changed :foreground ,fg-diff-changed)))
+           `(modus-themes-diff-refine-removed ((,class :background ,bg-diff-removed :foreground ,fg-diff-removed)))
+
+           `(modus-themes-diff-focus-added ((,class :background ,bg-dim :foreground ,green))) ; OR ,blue for deuteranopia
+           `(modus-themes-diff-focus-changed ((,class :background ,bg-dim :foreground ,yellow)))
+           `(modus-themes-diff-focus-removed ((,class :background ,bg-dim :foreground ,red)))
+
+           `(modus-themes-diff-heading ((,class :background ,bg-alt :foreground ,fg-main)))
+
+           `(diff-indicator-added ((,class :foreground ,green))) ; OR ,blue for deuteranopia
+           `(diff-indicator-changed ((,class :foreground ,yellow)))
+           `(diff-indicator-removed ((,class :foreground ,red)))
+
+           `(magit-diff-added ((,class :background unspecified :foreground ,green-faint)))
+           `(magit-diff-changed ((,class :background unspecified :foreground ,yellow-faint)))
+           `(magit-diff-removed ((,class :background unspecified :foreground ,red-faint)))
+           `(magit-diff-context-highlight ((,class :background ,bg-dim :foreground ,fg-dim))))))
+

+      ;; modus-operandi and modus-vivendi
+      (add-hook 'modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook #'my-modus-themes-custom-faces)
+
+
+Removed support for packages
+============================
+
+The following are no longer supported by the themes.  The reasons vary
+in each case, though they boil down to (i) the package being obsoleted,
+or (ii) the package's faces inheriting from base faces that we already
+support (e.g. font-lock).  Each case was carefully considered as part of
+the comprehensive review of all packages supported by the themes, though
+chances are that some mistake was made regardless.  If you believe a
+package should not have been removed, please report as much.

+
+Changes to supported faces or face groups
+=========================================
+
+,* Eliminated any possible exaggerations in wgrep faces.  Those no longer
+  use coloured backgrounds.  Instead they have colour-coded foreground
+  colours as well as a bold weight (they ultimately inherit from the
+  'bold' face, which is a "hidden" customisation option, as explained in
+  the manual).
+
+,* Forced Org block delimiters to not extend their background by default
+  (though check 'modus-themes-org-blocks').  That was the intended
+  design all along, but now it needs to be made explicit.  See, for
+  example, bug#52587 for Emacs:
+  <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=52587>
+
+,* Revised the 'org-sexp-date' face so that it no longer looks like
+  'org-date'.  Dates are clickable buttons: they work like links, so
+  they have an underline by default and are subject to the
+  'modus-themes-links' user option.  Whereas the 'org-sexp-date' is not
+  applied to interactive elements and must thus be visually distinct.
+
+  This face is used for diary-style entries in Org files.  For example:
+
+      %%(diary-anniversary 2000 12 25) NAME %d%s birthday
+
+,* Rewrote several Auctex/Tex faces to inherit from base faces where
+  relevant (e.g. 'bold', 'success') as well as from font-lock faces.  In
+  the latter case, the end-result makes Auctex/Tex subject to the
+  'modus-themes-syntax' option.  These refinements promote theme-wide
+  consistency without detracting from the established styles.
+
+,* Improved Git (Magit) commit faces for warnings or errors.  This
+  concerns two cases:
+
+  1. The summary line exceeds the recommended limit of 50 characters.
+     This now uses a yellow foreground colour which contrasts well with
+     the summary line's new blue hue (blue and yellow are complementary
+     for our purposes, meaning that they have good contrast in hueness).
+
+  2. The second line (the one right below the summary) has text that
+     should not be there.  This one is coloured in a shade of red, which
+     again contrasts well with blue.
+
+  Thanks to Damien Cassou for noticing in issue 261 that the previous
+  style of applying tinted backgrounds did not work well when
+  'hl-line-mode' was enabled ('hl-line-mode' overrides backgrounds and
+  so the warnings/errors where not always obvious):
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/261>.
+
+,* Added support for the new 'magit-branch-warning' face that we helped
+  upstream define: <https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/4550>.  It
+  disambiguates warnings in Magit status buffers from the generic and
+  often inappropriate for such a context 'font-lock-warning-face'.
+
+,* Simplified all the Apropos faces.  They no longer look like buttons or
+  links as that makes the presentation of 'M-x apropos' very busy.
+  Instead, they now only have a foreground colour.
+
+,* Updated support for org-roam faces by removing old entries and
+  covering new ones.
+
+,* Replaced old company-mode faces with their new aliases:
+
+  - company-scrollbar-bg => company-tooltip-scrollbar-thumb
+  - company-scrollbar-fg => company-tooltip-scrollbar-track
+
+,* Made 'org-column-title' inherit from 'fixed-pitch' when the user
+  option 'modus-themes-mixed-fonts' is non-nil.  This is needed to line
+  up columns correctly.  Thanks to Björn Lindström for the contribution
+  in merge request 52:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/52>.
+
+,* Forced the 'org-colview' faces to use the same height, even when
+  headings are scaled (see 'modus-themes-headings').  This ensures that
+  the columns are aligned properly and text fits on the same row.
+  Thanks to Björn Lindström for the contribution in merge request 53:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/53>.

+,* Refrained from applying a bold weight to the Org date selection
+  indicator in the calendar. The use of bold has the potential to create
+  problems with the alignment of dates for certain typefaces that do not
+  have a proper bold variant.  Also, there is no need for added emphasis
+  given that we already use a prominent background colour.
+
+,* Made 'M-x org-table-header-line-mode' or the third-party package
+  'org-table-sticky-header' use colours that fit better with those of
+  tables.
+
+,* Removed explicit styling of the 'magit-branch-current' face because
+  its definition checks if the ':box' attribute can be set and if not, it
+  uses ':inverse-video'.  Useful for terminal emulators.
+
+,* Expanded support for the 'mode-line-active' face for Emacs29.  The
+  face upstream basically adds proportionately spaced fonts (the
+  'variable-pitch' face) to the mode line.  The themes can already use
+  that if the user option 'modus-themes-variable-pitch-ui' is non-nil.
+  Thanks to Manuel Uberti for the feedback in issue 257:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/257>.
+
+,* Implemented some stylistic refinements for ERC and Rcirc to ensure
+  theme-wide consistency (e.g. timestamps are a shade of cyan).
+
+,* Tweaked adoc-mode faces for stylistic theme-wide consistency.
+
+,* Refashioned all the git faces of Treemacs so that they are more
+  consistent with other such contexts or uses.  The new styles also
+  conform with the 'modus-themes-deuteranopia' option.
+
+
+Miscellaneous
+=============
+
+,* Ended the wanton use of internal functions in places that did not
+  require them.  Instead, the themes define faces that evaluate such
+  functions once and pass their results to the relevant entries.  Cases
+  include:
+
+    - Symlink and/or broken link faces in contexts such as Dired,
+      Eshell, Helm, Trashed.
+
+    - Tabbed interfaces (tab-bar, tab-line, centaur-tabs).
+
+    - Verbatim markup or that of inline code in Org, Markdown, Asciidoc,
+      etc.
+
+    - The optional use of 'variable-pitch' for User Interface elements
+      (see 'modus-themes-variable-pitch-ui').
+
+,* Refined the dedicated diff background colours of modus-vivendi that
+  are used when the user option 'modus-themes-deuteranopia' is non-nil.
+  The changes improve the distinction between all red and yellow
+  constructs in contexts where they appear together (e.g. smerge-mode).
+  Basically, yellows will look more bright, while reds appear as
+  brown. The corresponding blues are toned down a bit to be consistent
+  with the other colours.  Consequently, the standard shades of green
+  for added lines (when 'modus-themes-deuteranopia' is nil) are
+  recalibrated to combine well with all other values.
+
+,* Made several faces return an 'unspecified' value instead of nil for
+  their unused attributes under certain circumstances.  This is to guard
+  against third-party code that unconditionally expects a non-nil value.
+
+,* Omitted {over,under}line attributes from the mode line when the
+  'padded' property is added to the 'modus-themes-mode-line' user
+  option.  Those are not necessary in that context.  Thanks to Illia
+  Ostapyshyn for the contribution in merge request 54:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/54>
+
+,* Rewrote several internal functions in the interest of consistency and
+  clarity.
+
+,* Deleted two user options that were long obsolete: (i)
+  'modus-themes-org-habit' has been superseded by
+  'modus-themes-org-agenda' since version 1.5.0 of the themes and (ii)
+  'modus-themes-intense-hl-line' has been replaced by
+  'modus-themes-hl-line' since version 1.3.0.
+
+,* Removed parentheses from headings in the manual as they are invalid
+  characters for some version of Texinfo.  See Emacs bug#52126:
+  <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=52126>.
+
+,* Updated all doc strings so that quoted lists yield valid syntax in
+  Help buffers; syntax that can be directly evaluated (otherwise Emacs
+  prettifies straight quotes as curly ones, which break the code).
+  Thanks to Christian Tietze for bringing this issue to my attention:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/248#note_753169268>.
+
+,* Rewrote all sections of the manual to document the current state of
+  the project as pertains to valid user options, explicitly supported
+  face groups, and so on.

+Modus themes version 1.7.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2021-11-18
+
+The present entry records the changes made to the project since the
+release of version 1.6.0 on 2021-09-29.  There have been more than 60
+commits since then.
+
+Every modification pertaining to colour combinations referenced herein
+is implemented in accordance with the primary accessibility objective of
+the themes for a minimum contrast ratio of 7:1 between background and
+foreground values in their given combination (the WCAG AAA standard).
+Edits also account for colour-coding that is optimised for the needs of
+users with red-green colour deficiency (deuteranopia).
+
+To access the URL of the manual visit this web page:
+<https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes>.  Or read it from Emacs by
+evaluating this form:
+
+    (info "(modus-themes) Top")
+
+The themes are built into Emacs version 28 (next stable release), and
+are available on GNU ELPA as well as other archives.  This release is
+the first one that is included with Emacs 29, or else the 'master'
+branch in emacs.git.
+
+
+Customisation options
+=====================
+
++ The 'modus-themes-no-mixed-fonts' has been deprecated and replaced by
+  the 'modus-themes-mixed-fonts'.  This is a breaking change for users
+  who want to use "mixed fonts": they must set the new variable to
+  non-nil.
+
+  As the name implies, the new variable changes the meaning of the
+  feature to make it opt-in by default.  This is consistent with the
+  principle of least surprise, as users may not know why some fonts look
+  different than others in certain cases.
+
+  Thanks to Christian Tietze for clarifying the doc string of this new
+  user option in merge request 51:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/51>.
+
+  For context, "mixed fonts" refers to a design where spacing-sensitive
+  constructs, such as code blocks and Org tables, inherit from the
+  'fixed-pitch' face to remain monospaced (and properly aligned) at all
+  times.  Depending on the user's configurations, the 'fixed-pitch' face
+  may not use the typeface that the user expects.
+
+  The manual provides information on how to set the desired fonts by
+  editing the 'default', 'fixed-pitch', and 'variable-pitch' faces.
+
++ The new 'modus-themes-mode-line-padding' can be used to control the
+  apparent padding of the mode line when the user option
+  'modus-themes-mode-line' includes the 'padded' property.  The padding
+  must be a positive integer (otherwise the code would be needlessly
+  complex to guard against values that make the mode line look awkward,
+  like anything lower than -3 or maybe even -2).
+
+  Thanks to Guilherme Semente and Manuel Uberti for the feedback in
+  issue 245: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/245>.
+
+  Note that the out-of-the-box style of the themes has a padding of 1
+  (technically a ':line-width' of 1 for the ':box' attribute), whereas
+  the default style of Emacs has it at -1.  This is a design choice to
+  avoid an overlap between the outer boundaries of a font's glyphs and
+  the borders of the mode line, when using certain common typefaces at
+  various point sizes.  Such an overlap can hinder readability.
+
+  The manual contains a new Do-It-Yourself (DIY) section with detailed
+  code samples on how to apply a negative value.
+
++ The new 'modus-themes-intense-markup' option can be set to non-nil to
+  make constructs such as inline code and verbatim text more colourful.
+  This has a general utility, though its consideration was prompted by a
+  phenomenon reported by Stefan Kangas in issue 238 where the overlay of
+  the 'hl-line-face' overrides the subtle background these constructs
+  use and can thus make them virtually indistinguishable from ordinary
+  text: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/238>.
+
+  Such is the standard behaviour of 'hl-line-mode' and there is nothing
+  a theme can (or rather "should") do about it.  Thanks to Stefan Kangas
+  for the feedback.
+
++ The 'modus-themes-headings' option can now accept and apply an exact
+  font weight such as 'semibold' or 'light'.  (The list of available
+  weights is the value of the 'modus-themes--heading-weights' internal
+  variable.)  This supersedes the now-deprecated 'no-bold' property:
+  'no-bold' is henceforth understood as the presence of a 'regular'
+  weight.
+
+  Recall that this user option is an alist and can be used to target
+  heading levels individually, which further reinforces the utility of
+  this new property.
+
+  Thanks to Christian Tietze for suggesting this idea in issue 248:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/248>.  And
+  thanks to Daniel Mendler for refining its implementation in commit
+  54bfd62, which was sent as a patch file (yes, we accept those and I
+  actually prefer them over a web app's UI).
+
++ The 'modus-themes-org-agenda' has seen improvements to its 'event' key
+  (this is an alist that has multiple keys).  It now accepts a 'varied'
+  property which differentiates between (i) plain timestamp entries and
+  (ii) entries that are generated from either the diary or a symbolic
+  expression.  The 'varied' property combines with the other available
+  properties to particularise their effects.  Consult the doc string or
+  the manual for the technicalities.
+
+  Thanks to Gustavo Barros for the detailed commentary in issue 241:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/241>.
+
++ The 'modus-themes-lang-checkers' now accepts a 'faint' property.  This
+  has the effect of toning down the colours in use.  By default, the
+  only colour is that of the underline, though more can be added by
+  combining the properties accepted by this user option.  Consult its
+  doc string or the manual for further details.
+
+  Thanks to Morgan Smith for suggesting the idea in issue 239:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/239>.
+
+
+Add support for new packages or face groups
+===========================================
+
++ 'company-tooltip-deprecated' face.  Thanks to Roman Rudakov for the
+   feedback in issue 247: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/247>.
+
++ 'corfu-default' face.  Thanks to Daniel Mendler (Corfu's developer)
+  for the feedback in issue 254:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/254>.
+
++ 'image-dired' package (Emacs 29).  Thanks to Stefan Kangas for making it
+  happen in emacs.git and for the feedback in issue 250:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/250>.
+
++ 'nano-modeline' package.
+
++ 'vertico-quick' package.  Thanks to Nicolas De Jaeghere for the
+  contribution in merge request 48:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/51>.
+
+
+Changes to existing faces or face groups
+========================================
+
++ Added support for the new Org agenda faces that improve the
+  contextuality of various views.  We implemented those upstream for Org
+  version 9.5 in close cooperation with Gustavo Barros.  Thanks to
+  Gustavo for the detailed feedback in issue 241:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/241>.  The
+  thread about the patch upstream:
+  <https://list.orgmode.org/87lf7q7gpq.fsf@protesilaos.com/>
+
++ Refined Org agenda date faces in the interest of consistency and in
+  accordance with the aforementioned change.  Thanks again to Gustavo
+  Barros for the discussion in issue 241.
+
++ Applied the 'shadow' face more consistently across all contexts where
+  only a subtle foreground value is expected.  This design choice makes
+  it possible for users to manually edit the foreground colour of
+  'shadow' to something even more subtle than the 'fg-alt' palette
+  variable we use, which maps to a gray colour (e.g. they could use
+  "gray50").
+
++ Implemented a subtle background colour to the 'widget-inactive' face.
+  This makes it easier to discern inactive buttons, checkboxes, and the
+  like, in contexts such as the Customize User Interface.  Thanks to
+  Stefan Kangas for the feedback in issue 242:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/242>.
+
++ Tweaked 'file-name-shadow' to also use italics (inherit from the
+  'italic' face) in order to be more easy to distinguish it from
+  ordinary text in the minibuffer.
+
+  Recall that the manual documents the meaning of inheriting from the
+  'bold' and 'italic' faces instead of hardcoding a bold weight and an
+  italic slant, respectively.  In short: users can change the weight to
+  what they want (e.g. semibold) and/or use distinct font families.
+
++ Amplified the style of Version Control (VC) warnings and errors to let
+  them draw more attention to themselves (because these indicators need
+  to be acted upon).
+
++ Recoloured the 'custom-group-tag' face to make it fit better in its
+  context and be consistent with the rest of the themes' established
+  patterns.
+
++ Made marks for selection in Dired, Ibuffer, and related, conform with
+  the 'modus-themes-success-deuteranopia' option.  This means that they
+  use blue colours when the option is non-nil, instead of their default
+  shades of green.
+
++ Adjusted the box width of key bindings for Emacs 28 or higher.  They
+  should no longer cause any alignment issues.  This style is now used
+  throughout the themes, including in transient views (e.g. Magit) which
+  were the exception before.  Thanks to Manuel Uberti and Kevin Fleming
+  for the feedback in issue 232:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/232>.
+
+
+Miscellaneous
+=============
+
++ Wrote a brief description of every user option in the manual.  Also
+  covered its type, as in boolean, alist, et cetera.
+
++ Corrected the mode line border width for one combination of properties
+  in the 'modus-themes-mode-line' option.  This should now have the same
+  height as all others:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-mode-line '(accented borderless))
+
++ Ensured that mode line attributes would not be set to nil, but kept at
+  an 'unspecified' value instead, where relevant.  This avoids problems
+  with [faulty] code that unconditionally depends on something that does
+  not exist, as in the following while ':box' is nil:
+
+      (face-attribute 'mode-line :box)
+
++ Expanded, reworded, or otherwise improved the manual, based on the
+  aforementioned.
+
+Thanks once again to everyone involved!

+Modus themes version 1.6.0
+
+By Protesilaos Stavrou <info@protesilaos.com> on 2021-09-29
+
+This entry records the changes made to the project since the release of
+version 1.5.0 on 2021-07-15.  There have been around 70 commits since
+then.
+
+Every colour-related modification referenced herein is always
+implemented in accordance with the primary accessibility objective of
+the themes for a minimum contrast ratio of 7:1 between background and
+foreground values in their given combination (the WCAG AAA standard).
+Such edits also account for colour-coding that is optimised for the
+needs of users with red-green colour deficiency (deuteranopia or
+variants).
+
+Here is the URL of the manual: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/modus-themes>.
+Or read it from Emacs by evaluating this form:
+
+    (info "(modus-themes) Top")
+
+The themes are built into Emacs version 28 (current development target),
+and are available on GNU ELPA as well as other archives.  This release
+is the final one for the emacs-28 branch, as that gets cut as the next
+stable release of GNU Emacs.  Future releases will target Emacs 29 once
+that becomes the new 'master' branch.
+
+
+Customisation options
+=====================
+
+[ Themes need to be reloaded for changes to take effect. ]
+
++ Introduced the new 'modus-themes-tabs-accented' boolean option.  When
+  set to non-nil, it renders the background of all tab interfaces in a
+  shade of blue.  Those interfaces are tab-bar (built-in), tab-line
+  (built-in), and Centaur tabs.
+
+  - The background "accented" colour is the same as the one used for
+    mode lines when 'modus-themes-mode-line' is configured accordingly.
+
++ Tweaked the 'modus-themes-mode-line' to accept a 'padded' symbol as
+  part of the list of properties it can read.  This will increase the
+  spacing around the mode lines' text, making the line taller overall
+  but also more spacious.
+
+  Thanks to Manuel Uberti for making the proposal and providing feedback
+  in issue 228: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/228>.
+
++ Added the 'modus-themes-scale-small' which complements the existing
+  scale values with one that is meant to be smaller than the base
+  height.  This option is reserved for special cases and is currently
+  only used as an opt-in feature in the Org agenda.
+
++ Expanded the 'modus-themes-org-agenda' with more parameters:
+
+  - The current date can now also be underlined.
+  - Date headings can be scaled/enlarged in size.
+  - Events, like those of the Diary or sexp entries, can be customised.
+
+  Consult the manual or the variable's doc string for the details.
+
++ Removed the obsoleted aliases 'modus-themes-slanted-constructs' and
+  'modus-themes-scale-5'.  Those are superseded by the more
+  appropriately named 'modus-themes-italic-constructs' and
+  'modus-themes-scale-title'.
+
+  Thanks to Nicolas De Jaeghere for the patch in merge request 47:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/47>.
+
+
+Faces and face groups
+=====================
+
++ Make the 'prodigy' faces for red/green/yellow inherit from the faces
+  'error'/'success'/'warning', respectively.  This is done to (i) avoid
+  duplication and (ii) ensure that the green/success colour coding is
+  consistent with the goal of the themes to empower users with red-green
+  colour deficiency.  The boolean option that changes all such greens to
+  shades of blue is 'modus-themes-success-deuteranopia'.
+
++ Assigned the ':extend' attribute to the 'org-code' face.  This is
+  necessary when the Org source contains lines that start with a colon
+  sign.  Those are interpreted as code blocks.  For example:
+
+      :  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+      :    (defun in-interval (bounds el)
+      :      (and (>= el (car bounds)) (<= el (cadr bounds))))
+      :  #+END_SRC
+
+  With the ':extend' in place, the background stretches to the edge of
+  the window, thus giving those lines a uniform rectangular shape.  For
+  inline uses of 'org-code', the background should remain limited to the
+  span of the text.
+
++ Broadened support for 'marginalia' faces in two phases.
+
+  - The first pertained to the file permissions that are shown when
+    completing against file paths.  Their style is similar to what
+    'dired+' or the 'direfl' packages provide, however we have taken
+    care to optimise the interface for the purposes of completion
+    UIs---where things can look like Dired, we make them alike, but
+    where they must differ, we differentiate the designs accordingly.
+    There can be no compromises or arbitrary constraints.
+
+    Also read: <https://github.com/minad/marginalia/pull/91>.
+
+  - The second batch covered all sorts of extra classes that provide
+    granular control over the appearance of Marginalia instances.
+    Refinements also had to be made to already-supported faces for the
+    sake of achieving consistency across the various Marginalia
+    interfaces.
+
+    Also read: <https://github.com/minad/marginalia/pull/92>.
+
++ Refined 'diredfl' and 'dired+' faces.  For the various "priv" faces,
+  the intent is to increase the difference in hueness between adjacent
+  file permissions (the changes are minor, but they do change the
+  overall result).  Numbers are toned down so that they do not clash
+  with dates.  The file suffix no longer uses cyan to stand out more in
+  detailed views.
+
++ Made 'icomplete-selected-match' (Emacs28) more legible by aligning its
+  presentation with metaphors that are estaslished across the
+  modus-themes.  Thanks to Kévin Le Gouguec (peniblec) for noting the
+  inconsistency with the new face upstream and for writing the patch for
+  it in merge request 50:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/50>.
+  Also thanks to Manuel Uberti for confirming that things would look
+  consistent in the comments' section of that merge request.
+
++ Fixed faulty inheritance for the 'web-mode-keyword-face'.  It should
+  now properly copy the attributes of 'font-lock-keyword-face'.
+
++ Made inheritance of the new 'help-key-binding' (Emacs28 key) the
+  default for all faces that need to style key bindings.
+
+  In Emacs 28 all key bindings are automatically displayed with the face
+  'help-key-binding' which uses some new face attributes to draw a
+  cleaner box around it.  Given that the themes must work with earlier
+  versions of Emacs, we cannot inherit it unconditionally so we added
+  the relevant conditionality.  It is nice to offer this feature to
+  those who use the themes on Emacs 28.  Older versions retain the
+  previous style of a blue colour coupled with a bold weight.
+
+  The exception to this rule is the transient.el faces (this is the
+  pop-up window used by Magit, among others---transient.el is now built
+  into Emacs).  The box effect creates unpredictable misalignments, so
+  we default to the old key binding style for those.
+
+  Thanks to Manuel Uberti and Kevin Fleming for their feedback in issue
+  232: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/232>.
+
++ Added support for the new 'notmuch-jump-key' face.  I contributed this
+  face in commits c37c9912, 5cc106b0 to the Notmuch git repo:
+  <https://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch>.
+
++ Updated the 'bookmark-face' (Emacs28) as it has been changed upstream
+  to be a fringe indicator instead of an in-buffer, line-wide background
+  highlight.
+
++ Aligned Ediff faces with other 'modus-themes-diffs' styles.  Before we
+  would differentiate a "focus state", though that is now considered
+  surplus to requirements.  The notion of a "focus state" only make
+  sense in Magit which applies variegated colour-coding to diff hunks
+  based on their state.  Whereas non-active Ediff changes are grayed
+  out, so there is no need for further colour-coding nuances.  The most
+  noticeable change is with:
+
+      (setq modus-themes-diffs 'bg-only)
+
+  As noted in the commit message of 64c74ae (from 2021-09-04):
+
+      If users think this change is for the worse, we can always define a
+      helper function like this:
+
+          (defun modus-themes--ediff-style (bgonly default)
+            "Diff style for Ediff.
+          BGONLY and DEFAULT depend on the value of `modus-themes-diffs'.
+          The former is more subtle."
+            (if (eq modus-themes-diffs 'bg-only)
+                (list bgonly)
+              (list default)))
+
+      And apply it thus:
+
+          `(ediff-current-diff-A ((,class :inherit ,@(modus-themes--ediff-style
+                                                      'modus-themes-diff-removed
+                                                      'modus-themes-diff-focus-removed))))
+
+  No feedback was received towards that end in about a month, so we
+  consider the change to be acceptable, without prejudice to the
+  possibility of future updates.
+
++ Unified the styles of 'org-agenda-calendar-sexp', 'org-agenda-diary',
+  and 'org-agenda-calendar-event'.  This is not a user-facing change but
+  an internal refactoring to avoid repetition.  It also makes things
+  easier for the implementation of the 'modus-themes-org-agenda' (as
+  mentioned above).
+
++ Ensured that the 'bookmark-menu-bookmark' face inherits from the
+  'bold' face.  By default it hardcodes the bold weight, whereas we
+  instruct it to inherit the 'bold' face.  A user can thus change the
+  ':weight' of that face to whatever they want, like semibold,
+  extrabold, etc.  We do this throughout the themes for bold and
+  italics---consider it a "hidden feature" of sorts.  Check the manual
+  for more on the matter:
+
+      (info "(modus-themes) Configure bold and italic faces (DIY)")
+
++ Provided support for tab-bar groups (Emacs28).  Specifically the faces
+  'tab-bar-tab-group-current' and 'tab-bar-tab-group-inactive'.
+
+  Thanks to Adam Porter (alphapapa) for the feedback in issue 8 over at
+  the Github mirror: <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/8>.
+
++ Decoupled the 'stripes' face from that of 'hl-line-face'.  This is
+  because the stripes are not meant to change depending on the value of
+  the user option 'modus-themes-hl-line'.
+
++ Revised the red shade of "flagged" entries in mu4e and notmuch.  Those
+  are now consistent with Gnus.  The shade of red that was used before
+  was closer to the orange side of the spectrum whereas the current has
+  hints of blue (a cherry colour) and thus combines better with the cyan
+  and blue that prevail in those interfaces.  These are fine margins,
+  though the effect is noticeable regardless.
+
++ Configured the new 'ansi-color' faces (Emacs28) which are used by
+  shells and terminals (among others).  Thanks to Manuel Uberti for
+  reporting the changes to upstream Emacs in issue 236:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/236>.
+
++ Expanded support for EMMS faces, pertaining to its browser views.
+  Thanks to Feng Shu (tumashu) for bringing those to my attention in
+  issue 11 over at the Github mirror:
+  <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/11>.
+
++ Styled the new 'tab-line-tab-modified' face (Emacs28).  It should now
+  use a faint red colour to denote changes to the underlying file.
+  Thanks to Adam Porter (alphapapa) for bringing it to my attention in
+  issue 12 over at the Github mirror:
+  <https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/issues/12>.
+
++ Configured the single face that the 'cursor-flash' package has to
+  offer.  Thanks to Manuel Uberti for the feedback in issue 231:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/231>.
+
++ Included 'elpher' in the list of supported packages by means of
+  covering the heading faces it implements.
+
++ Recalibrated certain dedicated colours for inactive tabs and tweaked
+  tab faces to (i) marginally improve the default aesthetic and (ii)
+  harmonise it with the style of 'modus-themes-tabs-accented'.
+
++ Removed the foreground attribute from all markup faces that are meant
+  to denote emphasis in italics.  That is because such faces are
+  typically composed with others, so we do not wish to inadvertently
+  override any other colour that would otherwise have taken effect.
+
++ Wrote the faces for upstream Org that improve the contextuality of
+  various agenda views (included in version 9.5).  This was done in
+  close collaboration with Gustavo Barros who offered detailed feedback
+  in issue 208 (which also led to the creation and eventual expansion of
+  the 'modus-themes-org-agenda' user option):
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/208>.
+
+  Four new faces improve certain styles and offer more flexibility for
+  some Org agenda views: 'org-agenda-date-weekend-today',
+  'org-imminent-deadline', 'org-agenda-structure-secondary',
+  'org-agenda-structure-filter'.  They inherit from existing faces in
+  order to remain backward-compatible.
+
+  Quoting from <https://list.orgmode.org/87lf7q7gpq.fsf@protesilaos.com/>:
+
+      + The 'org-imminent-deadline' is useful to disambiguate generic
+        warnings from deadlines.  For example, a warning could be
+        rendered in a yellow colored text and have a bold weight,
+        whereas a deadline might be red and styled with italics.
+
+      + The 'org-agenda-structure-filter' applies to all tag/term
+        filters in agenda views that search for keywords or patterns.
+        It is designed to inherit from 'org-agenda-structure' in
+        addition to the 'org-warning' face that was present before (and
+        removes the generic 'warning' face from one place).  This offers
+        the benefit of consistency, as, say, an increase in font height
+        or a change in font family in 'org-agenda-structure' will
+        propagate to the filter as well.  The whole header line thus
+        looks part of a singular design.
+
+      + The 'org-agenda-structure-secondary' complements the above for
+        those same views where a description follows the header.  For
+        instance, the tags view provides information to "Press N r" to
+        filter by a numbered tag.  Themes/users may prefer to
+        disambiguate this line from the header above it, such as by
+        using a less intense color or by reducing its height relative to
+        the 'org-agenda-structure'.
+
+      + The 'org-agenda-date-weekend-today' provides the option to
+        differentiate the current date on a weekend from the current
+        date on weekdays.
+
+Other patches I have made to, inter alia, emacs.git and org.git with
+regard to faces are documented in previous change log entries.
+
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
++ Removed references to old versions of the themes from before their
+  refactoring in version 1.0.0.  Those old packages no longer exist.
+  Users must install the 'modus-themes' and then load either of
+  'modus-operandi' or 'modus-vivendi'.
+
++ Included various extensions of the Vertico package in the list of
+  indirectly supported packages.  Those define faces which either
+  inherit from basic ones that we already support or use colours that
+  are consistent with our accessibility target.
+
++ Referenced 'side-hustle', 'tide', 'bufler' as an indirectly supported
+  packages for the same reasons.
+
++ Simplified time-stamp local variables that are used in modus-themes.el
+  to show the time the file was edited.  We apply 'time-stamp-pattern'
+  instead of setting multiple time-stamp variables.  Thanks to Stephen
+  Gildea for the patch, which was sent to me via email (yes, you can
+  always do that).
+
++ Updated the manual's "acknowledgements" section to name all new
+  contributors to code/ideas/feedback.
+
++ Furnished information on how to configure the 'highlight-parentheses'
+  package and extend its faces for use with the themes.  The entry
+  provides a complete Elisp implementation.
+
++ Improved the code samples for the prism.el setup that users may wish
+  to set up by themselves.  The new lists of colours work better when
+  Prism's colouration is limited to a small set of hues.
+
++ Deleted trailing whitespace in the manual which had adverse effects
+  when trying to compile the modus-themes.org over at emacs.git.  Thanks
+  to Philip Kaludercic for the patch in merge request 49:
+  <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/merge_requests/49>.
+
+Thanks again to everyone involved.  Looking forward to see the Modus
+themes, version 1.6.0, as part of the next stable release of Emacs.

+2.4 Dealing with byte compilation errors
+========================================
+
+From time to time, we receive bug reports pertaining to errors with byte
+compilation.  These seldom have to do with faulty code in the themes: it
+might be a shortcoming of ‘package.el’, some regression in the current
+development target of Emacs, a misconfiguration in an otherwise exotic
+setup, and the like.
+
+   The common solution with a stable version of Emacs is to:
+
+  1. Delete the ‘modus-themes’ package.
+  2. Close the current Emacs session.
+  3. Install the ‘modus-themes’ again.
+
+   For those building Emacs directly from source, the solution may
+involve reverting to an earlier commit in emacs.git.
+
+   At any rate, if you encounter such an issue please report it: we will
+either fix the bug on our end if it is truly ours, or help forward it to
+the relevant upstream maintainer.  Whatever you do, please understand
+that a build failure does not mean we are necessarily doing something
+wrong.

    Possible values:
 
-  1. ‘nil’ (default)
-  2. ‘moderate’
-  3. ‘opinionated’
-
-   This is a special option that has different effects depending on the
-completion UI.  The interfaces can be grouped in two categories, based
-on their default aesthetics: (i) those that only or mostly use
-foreground colors for their interaction model, and (ii) those that
-combine background and foreground values for some of their metaphors.
-The former category encompasses Icomplete, Ido, Selectrum, Vertico, as
-well as pattern matching styles like Orderless and Flx.  The latter
-covers Helm, Ivy, and Sallet.
-
-   A value of ‘nil’ (the default) will simply respect the metaphors of
-each completion framework.
-
-   Option ‘moderate’ applies a combination of background and foreground
-that is fairly subtle.  For Icomplete and friends this constitutes a
-departure from their default aesthetics, however the difference is
-small.  While Helm, Ivy et al appear slightly different than their
-original looks, as they are toned down a bit.
-
-   Option ‘opinionated’ uses color combinations that refashion the
-completion UI.  For the Icomplete camp this means that intense
-background and foreground combinations are used: in effect their looks
-emulate those of Helm, Ivy and co.  in their original style.  Whereas
-the other group of packages will revert to an even more nuanced
-aesthetic with some additional changes to the choice of hues.

-‘opinionated’ possibilities.

+
+   Symbol: ‘modus-themes-completions’ (‘alist’ type properties)
+
+   This affects Company, Corfu, Flx, Helm, Icomplete/Fido, Ido, Ivy,
+Orderless, Selectrum, Vertico.  The value is an alist that takes the
+form of a ‘(key . properties)’ combination.  Here is a sample, followed
+by a description of the particularities:
+
+     (setq modus-themes-completions
+           '((matches . (extrabold background intense))
+             (selection . (semibold accented intense))
+             (popup . (accented))))
+
+   The ‘matches’ key refers to the highlighted characters that
+correspond to the user’s input.  By default (nil or an empty list), they
+have a bold weight and a colored foreground.  The list of properties may
+include any of the following symbols regardless of the order they may
+appear in:
+
+   • ‘background’ to add a background color;
+
+   • ‘intense’ to increase the overall coloration (also amplifies the
+     ‘background’, if present);
+
+   • ‘underline’ to draw a line below the characters;
+
+   • ‘italic’ to use a slanted font (italic or oblique forms);
+
+   • The symbol of a font weight attribute such as ‘light’, ‘semibold’,
+     et cetera.  Valid symbols are defined in the ‘modus-themes-weights’
+     variable.  The absence of a weight means that bold will be used.
+
+   The ‘selection’ key applies to the current line or currently matched
+candidate, depending on the specifics of the User Interface.  By default
+(nil or an empty list), it has a subtle gray background, a bold weight,
+and the base foreground value for the text.  The list of properties it
+accepts is as follows (order is not significant):
+
+   • ‘accented’ to make the background colorful instead of gray;
+
+   • ‘text-also’ to apply extra color to the text of the selected line;
+
+   • ‘intense’ to increase the overall coloration;
+
+   • ‘underline’ to draw a line below the characters;
+
+   • ‘italic’ to use a slanted font (italic or oblique forms);
+
+   • The symbol of a font weight attribute such as ‘light’, ‘semibold’,
+     et cetera.  Valid symbols are defined in the ‘modus-themes-weights’
+     variable.  The absence of a weight means that bold will be used.
+
+   The ‘popup’ key takes the same values as ‘selection’.
+
+   Apart from specifying each key separately, a fallback list is
+accepted.  This is only useful when the desired aesthetic is the same
+across all keys that are not explicitly referenced.  For example, this:
+
+     (setq modus-themes-completions
+           '((t . (extrabold intense))))
+
+   Is the same as:
+
+     (setq modus-themes-completions
+           '((matches . (extrabold intense))
+             (selection . (extrabold intense))
+             (popup . (extrabold intense))))
+
+   In the case of the fallback, any property that does not apply to the
+corresponding key is simply ignored (‘matches’ does not have ‘accented’
+and ‘text-also’, while ‘selection’ and ‘popup’ do not have
+‘background’).
+
+   A concise expression of those associations can be written as follows,
+where the ‘car’ is always the key and the ‘cdr’ is the list of
+properties (whatever order they may appear in):
+
+     (setq modus-themes-completions
+           '((matches extrabold background intense)
+             (selection semibold accented intense)
+             (popup accented)))
+
+   *note Configure bold and italic faces::.

-
-4.22.1 Control the scale of headings
-------------------------------------
-
-In addition to the toggle for enabling scaled headings, users can also
-specify a number of their own.
-
-   • If it is a floating point, say, ‘1.5’, it is interpreted as a
-     multiple of the base font size.  This is the recommended method,
-     because it will always adapt to changes in the base font size, such
-     as while using the ‘text-scale-adjust’ command.
-
-   • If it is an integer, it is read as an absolute font height that is
-     1/10 of the typographic point size.  Thus a value of ‘18pt’ must be
-     expressed as ‘180’.  Setting an absolute value is discouraged, as
-     it will break the layout in cases where the base font size must
-     change, such as with the ‘text-scale-adjust’ command (*note Font
-     configurations: Font configurations for Org and others (DIY).).
-     While we discourage using absolute values, we still provide for
-     this option for users who do not need to perform text-scaling
-     operations or who are content with whatever discrepancies in
-     height.
-
-   Below are the variables in their default values, using the floating
-point paradigm.  The numbers are very conservative, but one is free to
-change them to their liking, such as ‘1.2’, ‘1.4’, ‘1.6’, ‘1.8’,
-‘2.0’—or use a resource for finding a consistent scale:
-
-     (setq modus-themes-scale-1 1.05
-           modus-themes-scale-2 1.1
-           modus-themes-scale-3 1.15
-           modus-themes-scale-4 1.2
-           modus-themes-scale-title 1.3)
-
-   As for the application of that scale, the variables that range from
-‘modus-themes-scale-1’ up to ‘modus-themes-scale-4’ apply to regular
-headings within the context of the given major mode.  The former is the
-smallest, while the latter is the largest.  “Regular headings” are those
-that have a standard syntax for their scale, such as Org mode’s eight
-levels of asterisks or Markdown’s six columns.
-
-   Whereas ‘modus-themes-scale-title’ is applied to special headings
-that do not conform with the aforementioned syntax, yet which are
-expected to be larger than the largest value on that implied scale or at
-least have some unique purpose in the buffer.  Put concretely, Org’s
-‘#+title’ meta datum is not part of the eight levels of headings in an
-Org file, yet is supposed to signify the primary header.  Similarly, the
-Org Agenda’s structure headings are not part of a recognisable scale and
-so they also get ‘modus-themes-scale-title’ (*note Option for Org agenda
-constructs: Org agenda.).
-
-   Users who wish to maintain scaled headings for the normal syntax
-while preventing special headings from standing out, can assign a value
-of ‘1.0’ to ‘modus-themes-scale-title’ to make it the same as body text
-(or whatever value would render it indistinguishable from the desired
-point of reference).
-
-   Note that in earlier versions of Org, scaling would only increase the
-size of the heading, but not of keywords that were added to it, like
-“TODO”.  The issue has been fixed upstream:

+5.1 More accurate colors in terminal emulators
+==============================================
+
+[ This is based on partial information.  Please help verify and/or
+expand these findings.  ]
+
+   The graphical version of Emacs can reproduce color values accurately.
+Whereas things get more tricky when Emacs is used in a terminal
+emulator, because the terminals’ own capabilities determine the number
+of colors that may be displayed: the Modus themes don’t look as good in
+that case.
+
+   There is, however, a way to instruct supported terminal emulators to
+use more accurate colors.  In a shell prompt type ‘toe -a | grep direct’
+to get a list of relevant terminfo entries.  There should be items such
+as ‘xterm-direct’, ‘alacritty-direct’, ‘kitty-direct’.  Once you find
+the one that corresponds to your terminal, call Emacs with an
+environment variable like ‘TERM=xterm-direct’.  Example that can be
+adapted to shell aliases:
+
+     TERM=xterm-direct emacsclient -nw

+5.2 Range of color with terminal emulators
 ==========================================
 
+[ This is based on partial information.  Please help verify and/or
+expand these findings.  ]
+
+   When Emacs runs in a non-windowed session its color reproduction
+capacity is framed or determined by the underlying terminal emulator
+(*note More accurate colors in terminal emulators::).  Emacs cannot
+produce a color that lies outside the range of what the terminal’s color
+palette renders possible.
+
+   This is immediately noticeable when the terminal’s first 16 codes do
+not include a pure black value for the ‘termcol0’ entry and a pure white
+for ‘termcol15’.  Emacs cannot set the correct background (white for
+‘modus-operandi’; black for ‘modus-vivendi’) or foreground (inverse of
+the background).  It thus falls back to the closest approximation, which
+seldom is appropriate for the purposes of the Modus themes.
+
+   In such a case, the user is expected to update their terminal’s color
+palette such as by adapting these resources:

+   *note Override color saturation::.
+
+   Building on ideas and concepts from the previous sections, this
+method blends the entire palette at once with the chosen colors.  The
+function ‘my-modus-themes-interpolate’ blends two colors, taking a value
+from the themes and mixing it with a user-defined color to arrive at a
+midpoint.  This scales to all background and foreground colors with the
+help of the ‘my-modus-themes-tint-palette’ function.

+5.12 Override colors completely
+===============================
+
+Based on the ideas we have already covered in these sections, the
+following code block provides a complete, bespoke pair of color palettes
+which override the defaults.  They are implemented as a minor mode, as
+explained before (*note Override colors::).  We call them “Summertime”
+for convenience.
+
+     ;; Read the relevant blog post:
+     ;; <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-07-26-modus-themes-color-override-demo/>
+     (define-minor-mode modus-themes-summertime
+       "Refashion the Modus themes by overriding their colors.
+
+     This is a complete technology demonstration to show how to
+     manually override the colors of the Modus themes.  I have taken
+     good care of those overrides to make them work as a fully fledged
+     color scheme that is compatible with all user options of the
+     Modus themes.
+
+     These overrides are usable by those who (i) like something more
+     fancy than the comparatively austere looks of the Modus themes,
+     and (ii) can cope with a lower contrast ratio.
+
+     The overrides are set up as a minor mode, so that the user can
+     activate the effect on demand.  Those who want to load the
+     overrides at all times can either add them directly to their
+     configuration or enable `modus-themes-summertime' BEFORE loading
+     either of the Modus themes (if the overrides are evaluated after
+     the theme, the theme must be reloaded).
+
+     Remember that all changes to theme-related variables require a
+     reload of the theme to take effect (the Modus themes have lots of
+     user options, apart from those overrides).
+
+     The `modus-themes-summertime' IS NOT an official extension to the
+     Modus themes and DOES NOT comply with its lofty accessibility
+     standards.  It is included in the official manual as guidance for
+     those who want to make use of the color overriding facility we
+     provide."

-===================================================
+5.16 Custom Org emphasis faces
+==============================
+
+Org provides the user option ‘org-emphasis-alist’ which associates a
+character with a face, list of faces, or face attributes.  The default
+specification of that variable looks like this:
+
+     (setq org-emphasis-alist
+           '(("*" bold)
+             ("/" italic)
+             ("_" underline)
+             ("=" org-verbatim verbatim)
+             ("~" org-code verbatim)
+             ("+" (:strike-through t))))
+
+   With the exception of ‘org-verbatim’ and ‘org-code’ faces, everything
+else uses the corresponding type of emphasis: a bold typographic weight,
+or italicised, underlined, and struck through text.
+
+   The best way for users to add some extra attributes, such as a
+foreground color, is to define their own faces and assign them to the
+given emphasis marker/character.
+
+   This is a custom face that extends the standard ‘bold’ face with a
+red foreground value (so it colorises the text in addition to the bold
+weight):
+
+     (defface my-org-emphasis-bold
+       '((default :inherit bold)
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+          :foreground "#a60000")
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+          :foreground "#ff8059"))
+       "My bold emphasis for Org.")
+
+   This face definition reads as follows:
+
+   • Always inherit the ‘bold’ face (*note Configure bold and italic
+     faces::).
+   • For versions of Emacs that support at least 88 colors (graphical
+     Emacs, for example) and use a light background, apply the ‘#a60000’
+     value.
+   • For the same kind of Emacs that has a dark background use the
+     ‘#ff8059’ color instead.
+
+   Same principle for how to extend ‘italic’ and ‘underline’ with, for
+example, green and yellow hues, respectively:
+
+     (defface my-org-emphasis-italic
+       '((default :inherit italic)
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+          :foreground "#005e00")
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+          :foreground "#44bc44"))
+       "My italic emphasis for Org.")
+
+     (defface my-org-emphasis-underline
+       '((default :inherit underline)
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+          :foreground "#813e00")
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+          :foreground "#d0bc00"))
+       "My underline emphasis for Org.")
+
+   In the case of a strike-through effect, we have no generic face to
+inherit from, so we can write it as follows to also change the
+foreground to a more subtle gray:
+
+     (defface my-org-emphasis-strike-through
+       '((default :strike-through t)
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+          :foreground "#505050")
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+          :foreground "#a8a8a8"))
+       "My strike-through emphasis for Org.")
+
+   Or we can just change the color of the line that strikes through the
+text to, for example, a shade of red:
+
+     (defface my-org-emphasis-strike-through
+       '((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+          :strike-through "#972500")
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+          :strike-through "#ef8b50"))
+       "My strike-through emphasis for Org.")
+
+   It is possible to combine those effects:
+
+     (defface my-org-emphasis-strike-through
+       '((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+          :strike-through "#972500" :foreground "#505050")
+         (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+          :strike-through "#ef8b50" :foreground "#a8a8a8"))
+       "My strike-through emphasis for Org.")
+
+   One may inspect the variables ‘modus-themes-operandi-colors’ and
+‘modus-themes-vivendi-colors’ for possible color values.  Or call the
+command ‘modus-themes-list-colors’ to show a buffer that previews each
+entry in the palette.
+
+   *note Visualize the active Modus theme's palette::.
+
+   Once we have defined the faces we need, we must update the
+‘org-emphasis-alist’.  Given that ‘org-verbatim’ and ‘org-code’ are
+already styled by the themes, it probably is best not to edit them:
+
+     (setq org-emphasis-alist
+           '(("*" my-org-emphasis-bold)
+             ("/" my-org-emphasis-italic)
+             ("_" my-org-emphasis-underline)
+             ("=" org-verbatim verbatim)
+             ("~" org-code verbatim)
+             ("+" my-org-emphasis-strike-through)))
+
+   That’s it!  For changes to take effect in already visited Org files,
+invoke ‘M-x org-mode-restart’.

-5.15 A theme-agnostic hook for theme loading (DIY)
-==================================================
+5.21 Decrease mode line height
+==============================
+
+By default, the mode line of the Modus themes is set to 1 pixel width
+for its ‘:box’ attribute.  In contrast, the mode line of stock Emacs is
+-1 pixel.  This small difference is considered necessary for the
+purposes of accessibility as our out-of-the-box design has a prominent
+color around the mode line (a border) to make its boundaries clear.
+With a negative width the border and the text on the mode line can feel
+a bit more difficult to read under certain scenaria.
+
+   Furthermore, the user option ‘modus-themes-mode-line’ (*note Mode
+line::) does not allow for such a negative value because there are many
+edge cases that simply make for a counter-intuitive set of
+possibilities, such as a ‘0’ value not being acceptable by the
+underlying face infrastructure, and negative values greater than ‘-2’
+not being particularly usable.
+
+   For these reasons, users who wish to decrease the overall height of
+the mode line must handle things on their own by implementing the
+methods for face customization documented herein.
+
+   *note Basic face customization: Case-by-case face specs using the
+themes' palette.
+
+   One such method is to create a function that configures the desired
+faces and hook it to ‘modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook’ so that it
+persists while switching between the Modus themes with the command
+‘modus-themes-toggle’.
+
+   This one simply disables the box altogether, which will reduce the
+height of the mode lines, but also remove their border:
+
+     (defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+       (set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :box nil)
+       (set-face-attribute 'mode-line-inactive nil :box nil))
+
+     (add-hook 'modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook #'my-modus-themes-custom-faces)
+
+   The above relies on the ‘set-face-attribute’ function, though users
+who plan to re-use colors from the theme and do so at scale are better
+off with the more streamlined combination of the
+‘modus-themes-with-colors’ macro and ‘custom-set-faces’.
+
+   *note Face customization at scale: Face specs at scale using the
+themes' palette.
+
+   As explained before in this document, this approach has a syntax that
+is consistent with the source code of the themes, so it probably is
+easier to re-use parts of the design.
+
+   The following emulates the stock Emacs style, while still using the
+colors of the Modus themes (whichever attribute is not explicitly stated
+is inherited from the underlying theme):
+
+     (defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+       (modus-themes-with-colors
+         (custom-set-faces
+          `(mode-line ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :style released-button))))
+          `(mode-line-inactive ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :color ,bg-region)))))))
+
+     (add-hook 'modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook #'my-modus-themes-custom-faces)
+
+   And this one is like the out-of-the-box style of the Modus themes,
+but with the -1 height instead of 1:
+
+     (defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+       (modus-themes-with-colors
+         (custom-set-faces
+          `(mode-line ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :color ,fg-alt))))
+          `(mode-line-inactive ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :color ,bg-region)))))))
+
+     (add-hook 'modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook #'my-modus-themes-custom-faces)
+
+   Finally, to also change the background color of the active mode line,
+such as that it looks like the “accented” variant which is possible via
+the user option ‘modus-themes-mode-line’, the ‘:background’ attribute
+needs to be specified as well:
+
+     (defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+       (modus-themes-with-colors
+         (custom-set-faces
+          `(mode-line ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :color ,fg-alt) :background ,bg-active-accent)))

+====================================
+
+Ediff uses the same color-coding as ordinary diffs in ‘diff-mode’,

+consistent with the principle of least surprise.
+
+   Users may, however, prefer to treat Ediff differently on the premise

+removed lines/words: it does not use the ‘+’ or ‘-’ markers, after all.
+
+   This can be achieved by customizing the Ediff faces with color
+combinations that do not carry the same connotations as those of diffs.

+5.26 Near-monochrome syntax highlighting
+========================================
+
+While the Modus themes do provide a user option to control the overall
+style of syntax highlighting in programming major modes, they do not
+cover the possibility of a monochromatic or near-monochromatic design
+(*note Option for syntax highlighting: Syntax styles.).  This is due to
+the multitude of preferences involved: one may like comments to be
+styled with an accent value, another may want certain constructs to be
+bold, a third may apply italics to doc strings but not comments... The
+possibilities are virtually endless.  As such, this sort of design is
+best handled at the user level in accordance with the information
+furnished elsewhere in this manual.
+
+   *note Case-by-case face specs using the themes' palette::.
+
+   *note Face specs at scale using the themes' palette::.
+
+   The gist is that we want to override the font-lock faces.  For our
+changes to persist while switching between ‘modus-operandi’ and
+‘modus-vivendi’ we wrap our face overrides in a function that we hook to
+‘modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook’.
+
+   Users who want to replicate the structure of the themes’ source code
+are advised to use the examples with ‘custom-set-faces’.  Those who
+prefer a different approach can use the snippets which call
+‘set-face-attribute’.  Below are the code blocks.
+
+   The following uses a yellow accent value for comments and green hues
+for strings.  Regexp grouping constructs have color values that work in
+the context of a green string.  All other elements use the main
+foreground color, except warnings such as the ‘user-error’ function in
+Elisp buffers which gets a subtle red tint (not to be confused with the
+‘warning’ face which is used for genuine warnings).  Furthermore, notice
+the ‘modus-themes-bold’ and ‘modus-themes-slant’ which apply the
+preference set in the user options ‘modus-themes-bold-constructs’ and
+‘modus-themes-italic-constructs’, respectively.  Users who do not want
+this conditionally must replace these faces with ‘bold’ and ‘italic’
+respectively (or ‘unspecified’ to disable the effect altogether).

+
+5.28 Add support for solaire-mode
+=================================
+
+The ‘solaire-mode’ package dims the background of what it considers
+ancillary “UI” buffers, such as the minibuffer and Dired buffers.  The
+Modus themes used to support Solaire on the premise that the user was
+(i) opting in to it, (ii) understood why certain buffers were more gray,
+and (iii) knew what other adjustments had to be made to prevent broken
+visuals (e.g.  the default style of the ‘modus-themes-completions’ uses
+a subtle gray background for the selection, which with Solaire becomes
+practically invisible).
+
+   However, the assumption that users opt in to this feature does not
+always hold true.  There are cases where it is enabled by defaultsuch as
+in the popular Doom Emacs configuration.  Thus, the unsuspecting user
+who loads ‘modus-operandi’ or ‘modus-vivendi’ without the requisite
+customizations is getting a sub-par experience; an experience that we
+did not intend and cannot genuinely fix.
+
+   Because the Modus themes are meant to work everywhere, we cannot make
+an exception for Doom Emacs and/or Solaire users.  Furthermore, we shall
+not introduce hacks, such as by adding a check in all relevant faces to
+be adjusted based on Solaire or whatever other package.  Hacks of this
+sort are unsustainable and penalize the entire userbase.  Besides, the
+themes are built into Emacs and we must keep their standard high.
+
+   The fundamental constraint with Solaire is that Emacs does not have a
+real distinction between “content” and “UI” buffers.  For themes to work
+with Solaire, they need to be designed around that package.  Such is an
+arrangement that compromises on our accessibility standards and/or
+hinders our efforts to provide the best possible experience while using
+the Modus themes.
+
+   As such, ‘solaire-mode’ is not—and will not be—supported by the Modus
+themes (or any other of my themes, for that matter).  Users who want it
+must style the faces manually.  Below is some sample code, based on what
+we cover at length elsewhere in this manual:
+
+   *note Advanced customization::.
+
+   *note Face specs at scale using the themes' palette::.
+
+     (defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+       (modus-themes-with-colors
+         (custom-set-faces
+          `(solaire-default-face ((,class :inherit default :background ,bg-alt :foreground ,fg-dim)))
+          `(solaire-line-number-face ((,class :inherit solaire-default-face :foreground ,fg-unfocused)))
+          `(solaire-hl-line-face ((,class :background ,bg-active)))
+          `(solaire-org-hide-face ((,class :background ,bg-alt :foreground ,bg-alt))))))
+
+     (add-hook 'modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook #'my-modus-themes-custom-faces)
+
+   As always, re-load the theme for changes to take effect.

-7.1 Note on avy hints
-=====================
-
-Hints can appear everywhere, in wildly varying contexts, hence, their
-appearance, by necessity, is a compromise.  However, there are various
-options for making them stand out.  First is dimming the surroundings:
-
-     (setq avy-background t)
-
-   Dimming works well when you find it difficult to spot hints, any
-hint.  Second is limiting the number of faces used by hints:
-
-     (setq avy-lead-faces
-           '(avy-lead-face
-             avy-lead-face-1
-             avy-lead-face-1
-             avy-lead-face-1
-             avy-lead-face-1))
-
-   Limiting the number of faces works well with longer hints when you
-find it difficult to identify individual hints, especially with hints
-touching each other.  The first character of the hint will have an
-intense color, the remaining ones the same neutral color.
-
-   Third is preferring commands that produce fewer candidates.  Fewer
-hints is less noise: ‘avy-goto-char-timer’ is an excellent alternative
-to ‘avy-goto-char’.

+7.2 Note on git-gutter in Doom Emacs
+====================================
+
+The ‘git-gutter’ and ‘git-gutter-fr’ packages default to drawing bitmaps
+for the indicators they display (e.g.  bitmap of a plus sign for added
+lines).  In Doom Emacs, these bitmaps are replaced with contiguous lines
+which may look nicer, but require a change to the foreground of the
+relevant faces to yield the desired color combinations.
+
+   Since this is Doom-specific, we urge users to apply changes in their
+local setup.  Below is some sample code, based on what we cover at
+length elsewhere in this manual:

 ==============================================
 
-While designing the style for ‘display-fill-column-indicator-mode’, we
-stayed close to the mode’s defaults: to apply a subtle foreground color
-to the ‘fill-column-indicator’ face, which blends well with the rest of
-theme and is consistent with the role of that mode.  This is to not
-upset the expectations of users.
-
-   Nevertheless, ‘display-fill-column-indicator-mode’ has some known
-limitations pertaining to its choice of using typographic characters to
-draw its indicator.  What should be a continuous vertical line might
-appear as a series of dashes in certain contexts or under specific
-conditions: a non-default value for ‘line-spacing’, scaled and/or
-variable-pitch headings have been observed to cause this effect.
-
-   Given that we cannot control such factors, it may be better for
-affected users to deviate from the default style of the
-‘fill-column-indicator’ face.  Instead of setting a foreground color,
-one could use a background and have the foreground be indistinguishable
-from it.  For example:
+The ‘display-fill-column-indicator-mode’ uses a typographic character to
+draw its line.  This has the downside of creating a dashed line.  The
+dashes are further apart depending on how tall the font’s glyph height
+is and what integer the ‘line-spacing’ is set to.
+
+   At the theme level we eliminate this effect by making the character
+one pixel tall: the line is contiguous.  Users who prefer the dashed
+line are advised to change the ‘fill-column-indicator’ face, as
+explained elsewhere in this document.  For example:
 
      (modus-themes-with-colors
        (custom-set-faces
-        `(fill-column-indicator ((,class :background ,bg-inactive
-                                         :foreground ,bg-inactive)))))
+        `(fill-column-indicator ((,class :foreground ,bg-active)))))
+
+   *note Face specs at scale using the themes' palette::.
+
+   To make the line thicker, set the height to be equal to the base font
+size instead of the one pixel we use.  This is done by specifying a rate
+instead of an absolute number, as in ‘:height 1.0’ versus ‘:height 1’.
+For example:
+
+     (modus-themes-with-colors
+       (custom-set-faces
+        `(fill-column-indicator ((,class :height 1.0 :background ,bg-inactive :foreground ,bg-inactive)))))

+7.8 Note on highlight-parentheses.el
+====================================
+
+The ‘highlight-parentheses’ package provides contextual coloration of
+surrounding parentheses, highlighting only those which are around the
+point.  The package expects users to customize the applicable colors on
+their own by configuring certain variables.
+
+   To make the Modus themes work as expected with this, we need to use
+some of the techniques that are discussed at length in the various
+“Do-It-Yourself” (DIY) sections, which provide insight into the more
+advanced customization options of the themes.
+
+   *note Advanced customization::.
+
+   In the following example, we are assuming that the user wants to (i)
+re-use color variables provided by the themes, (ii) be able to retain
+their tweaks while switching between ‘modus-operandi’ and
+‘modus-vivendi’, and (iii) have the option to highlight either the
+foreground of the parentheses or the background as well.
+
+   We start by defining our own variable, which will serve as a toggle
+between foreground and background coloration styles:
+
+     (defvar my-highlight-parentheses-use-background t
+       "Prefer `highlight-parentheses-background-colors'.")
+
+   Then we can update our preference with this:
 
-   *note Face specs at scale using the themes’ palette: Face specs at
-scale using the themes' palette (DIY).
+     ;; Set to nil to disable backgrounds.
+     (setq my-highlight-parentheses-use-background nil)
+
+   To re-use colors from the themes, we must wrap our code in the
+‘modus-themes-with-colors’ macro.  Our implementation must interface
+with the variables ‘highlight-parentheses-background-colors’ and/or
+‘highlight-parentheses-colors’.
+
+   So we can have something like this (the doc string of
+‘modus-themes-with-colors’ explains where the names of the colors can be
+found):
+
+     (modus-themes-with-colors
+         ;; Our preference for setting either background or foreground
+         ;; styles, depending on `my-highlight-parentheses-use-background'.

+
+     ;; Our changes must be evaluated before enabling the relevant mode, so
+     ;; this comes last.
+     (global-highlight-parentheses-mode 1)

+7.21 Note on goto-address-mode faces
+====================================
+
+The built-in ‘goto-address-mode’ uses heuristics to identify URLs and
+email addresses in the current buffer.  It then applies a face to them
+to change their style.  Some packages, such as ‘notmuch’, use this
+minor-mode automatically.
+
+   The faces are not declared with ‘defface’, meaning that it is better
+that the theme does not modify them.  The user is thus encouraged to
+consider including (or equivalent) this in their setup:
+
+     (setq goto-address-url-face 'link
+           goto-address-url-mouse-face 'highlight
+           goto-address-mail-face 'link
+           goto-address-mail-mouse-face 'highlight)
+
+   My personal preference is to set ‘goto-address-mail-face’ to nil, as
+it otherwise adds too much visual noise to the buffer (email addresses
+stand out more, due to the use of the uncommon ‘@’ character but also
+because they are often enclosed in angled brackets).

+
+8.5 Are these color schemes?
+============================
+
+No, the Modus themes are not color schemes.
+
+   A color scheme is a collection of colors.  A good color scheme is a
+combination of colors with an inner logic or abstract structure.
+
+   A theme is a set of patterns that are applied across different
+contexts.  A good theme is one that does so with consistency, though not
+uniformity.
+
+   In practical terms, a color scheme is what one uses when, for
+example, they edit the first sixteen escape sequences of a terminal
+emulator to the hues of their preference.  The terminal offers the
+option to choose, say, the exact value of what counts as “red”, but does
+not provide the means to control where that is mapped to and whether it
+should also have other qualities such as a bold weight for the
+underlying text or an added background color.  In contradistinction,
+Emacs uses constructs known as “faces” which allow the user/developer to
+specify where a given color will be used and whether it should be
+accompanied by other typographic or stylistic attributes.
+
+   By configuring the multitude of faces on offer we thus control both
+which colors are applied and how they appear in their context.  When a
+package wants to render each instance of “foo” with the “bar” face, it
+is not requesting a specific color, which makes things considerably more
+flexible as we can treat “bar” in its own right without necessarily
+having to use some color value that we hardcoded somewhere.
+
+   Which brings us to the distinction between consistency and uniformity
+where our goal is always the former: we want things to look similar
+across all interfaces, but we must never force a visual identity where
+that runs contrary to the functionality of the given interface.  For
+instance, all links are underlined by default yet there are cases such
+as when viewing listings of emails in Gnus (and Mu4e, Notmuch) where (i)
+it is already understood that one must follow the indicator or headline
+to view its contents and (ii) underlining everything would make the
+interface virtually unusable.
+
+   *note Option for links: Link styles.
+
+   Again, one must exercise judgement in order to avoid discrimination,
+where “discrimination” refers to:
+
+   • The treatment of substantially different magnitudes as if they were
+     of the same class.
+   • Or the treatment of the same class of magnitudes as if they were of
+     a different class.
+
+   (To treat similar things differently; to treat dissimilar things
+alike.)
+
+   If, in other words, one was to enforce uniformity without accounting
+for the particular requirements of each case—the contextual demands for
+usability beyond matters of color—they would be making a not-so-obvious
+error of treating different cases as if they were the same.
+
+   The Modus themes prioritize “thematic consistency” over abstract
+harmony or regularity among their applicable colors.  In concrete terms,
+we do not claim that, say, our yellows are the best complements for our
+blues because we generally avoid using complementary colors
+side-by-side, so it is wrong to optimize for a decontextualised
+blue+yellow combination.  Not to imply that our colors do not work well
+together because they do, just to clarify that consistency of context is
+what themes must strive for, and that requires widening the scope of the
+design beyond the particularities of a color scheme.
+
+   Long story short: color schemes and themes have different
+requirements.  Please do not conflate the two.
+
+
+File: modus-themes.info,  Node: Port the Modus themes to other platforms?,  Prev: Are these color schemes?,  Up: Frequently Asked Questions
+
+8.6 Port the Modus themes to other platforms?
+=============================================
+
+There is no plan to port the themes to other platforms or text editors.
+I (Protesilaos) only use GNU Emacs and thus cannot maintain code that
+targets software I am either not familiar with or am not using on a
+daily basis.
+
+   While it is possible to produce a simulacrum based on a given
+template, doing so would run contrary to how this project is maintained
+where details matter greatly.
+
+   Each program has its own requirements so it won’t always be
+possible—or indeed desirable—to have 1:1 correspondence between what
+applies to Emacs and what should be done elsewhere.  No port should ever
+strive to be a faithful copy of the Emacs implementation, as no other
+program is an Emacs equivalent, but instead try to follow the spirit of
+the design.  For example, some of the customization options accept a
+list as their value, or an alist, which may not be possible to reproduce
+on other platforms.
+
+   *note Customization options: Customization Options.
+
+   In other words, if something must be done differently on a certain
+editor then that is acceptable so long as (i) the accessibility
+standards are not compromised and (ii) the overall character of the
+themes remains consistent.
+
+   The former criterion should be crystal clear as it pertains to the
+scientific foundations of the themes: high legibility and taking care of
+the needs of users with red-green color deficiency (deuteranopia) by
+avoiding red+green color coding paradigms and/or by providing red+blue
+variants.
+
+   The latter criterion is the “je ne sais quoi” of the artistic aspect
+of the themes, which is partially fleshed out in this manual.
+
+   *note Frequently Asked Questions::.
+
+   With regard to the artistic aspect (where “art” qua skill may amount
+to an imprecise science), there is no hard-and-fast rule in effect as it
+requires one to exercise discretion and make decisions based on
+context-dependent information or constraints.  As is true with most
+things in life, when in doubt, do not cling on to the letter of the law
+but try to understand its spirit.
+
+   For a trivial example: the curly underline that Emacs draws for
+spelling errors is thinner than, e.g., what a graphical web browser has,
+so if I was to design for an editor than has a thicker curly underline I
+would make the applicable colors less intense to counterbalance the
+typographic intensity of the added thickness.
+
+   With those granted, if anyone is willing to develop a port of the
+themes, they are welcome to contact me and I will do my best to help
+them in their efforts.

+From time to time, we receive bug reports pertaining to errors with byte
+compilation.  These seldom have to do with faulty code in the themes: it
+might be a shortcoming of =package.el=, some regression in the current

+The common solution with a stable version of Emacs is to:
+
+1. Delete the =modus-themes= package.
+2. Close the current Emacs session.
+3. Install the =modus-themes= again.

+For those building Emacs directly from source, the solution may involve
+reverting to an earlier commit in emacs.git.

-Option ~moderate~ applies a combination of background and foreground that

-departure from their default aesthetics, however the difference is
-small.  While Helm, Ivy et al appear slightly different than their
-original looks, as they are toned down a bit.
-
-Option ~opinionated~ uses color combinations that refashion the completion
-UI.  For the Icomplete camp this means that intense background and
-foreground combinations are used: in effect their looks emulate those of
-Helm, Ivy and co. in their original style.  Whereas the other group of
-packages will revert to an even more nuanced aesthetic with some
-additional changes to the choice of hues.

+This affects Company, Corfu, Flx, Helm, Icomplete/Fido, Ido, Ivy,
+Orderless, Selectrum, Vertico.  The value is an alist that takes the
+form of a =(key . properties)= combination.  Here is a sample, followed
+by a description of the particularities:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp

+#+end_src
+
+The ~matches~ key refers to the highlighted characters that correspond
+to the user's input.  By default (nil or an empty list), they have a
+bold weight and a colored foreground.  The list of properties may
+include any of the following symbols regardless of the order they may
+appear in:
+
+- ~background~ to add a background color;
+
+- ~intense~ to increase the overall coloration (also amplifies
+  the ~background~, if present);
+
+- ~underline~ to draw a line below the characters;
+
+- ~italic~ to use a slanted font (italic or oblique forms);
+
+- The symbol of a font weight attribute such as ~light~, ~semibold~, et
+  cetera.  Valid symbols are defined in the ~modus-themes-weights~
+  variable.  The absence of a weight means that bold will be used.
+
+The ~selection~ key applies to the current line or currently matched
+candidate, depending on the specifics of the User Interface.  By default
+(nil or an empty list), it has a subtle gray background, a bold weight,
+and the base foreground value for the text. The list of properties it
+accepts is as follows (order is not significant):
+
+- ~accented~ to make the background colorful instead of gray;
+
+- ~text-also~ to apply extra color to the text of the selected line;
+
+- ~intense~ to increase the overall coloration;
+
+- ~underline~ to draw a line below the characters;
+
+- ~italic~ to use a slanted font (italic or oblique forms);
+
+- The symbol of a font weight attribute such as ~light~, ~semibold~, et
+  cetera.  Valid symbols are defined in the ~modus-themes-weights~
+  variable.  The absence of a weight means that bold will be used.
+
+The ~popup~ key takes the same values as ~selection~.
+
+Apart from specifying each key separately, a fallback list is accepted.
+This is only useful when the desired aesthetic is the same across all
+keys that are not explicitly referenced.  For example, this:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(setq modus-themes-completions
+      '((t . (extrabold intense))))
+#+end_src
+
+Is the same as:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(setq modus-themes-completions
+      '((matches . (extrabold intense))
+        (selection . (extrabold intense))
+        (popup . (extrabold intense))))
+#+end_src
+
+In the case of the fallback, any property that does not apply to the
+corresponding key is simply ignored (~matches~ does not have ~accented~
+and ~text-also~, while ~selection~ and ~popup~ do not have
+~background~).
+
+A concise expression of those associations can be written as follows,
+where the ~car~ is always the key and the ~cdr~ is the list of
+properties (whatever order they may appear in):
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(setq modus-themes-completions
+      '((matches extrabold background intense)
+        (selection semibold accented intense)
+        (popup accented)))

+The graphical version of Emacs can reproduce color values accurately.
+Whereas things get more tricky when Emacs is used in a terminal
+emulator, because the terminals' own capabilities determine the number
+of colors that may be displayed: the Modus themes don't look as good in
+that case.
+
+There is, however, a way to instruct supported terminal emulators to use
+more accurate colors.  In a shell prompt type =toe -a | grep direct= to
+get a list of relevant terminfo entries.  There should be items such as
+=xterm-direct=, =alacritty-direct=, =kitty-direct=.  Once you find the one
+that corresponds to your terminal, call Emacs with an environment
+variable like =TERM=xterm-direct=.  Example that can be adapted to shell

+([[#h:fbb5e254-afd6-4313-bb05-93b3b4f67358][More accurate colors in terminal emulators]]).  Emacs cannot produce a
+color that lies outside the range of what the terminal's color palette
+renders possible.
+
+This is immediately noticeable when the terminal's first 16 codes do not

+=termcol15=.  Emacs cannot set the correct background (white for

+Based on the ideas we have already covered in these sections, the

+which override the defaults.  They are implemented as a minor mode, as

+  "Refashion the Modus themes by overriding their colors.
+
+This is a complete technology demonstration to show how to
+manually override the colors of the Modus themes.  I have taken
+good care of those overrides to make them work as a fully fledged
+color scheme that is compatible with all user options of the
+Modus themes.
+
+These overrides are usable by those who (i) like something more
+fancy than the comparatively austere looks of the Modus themes,
+and (ii) can cope with a lower contrast ratio.
+
+The overrides are set up as a minor mode, so that the user can
+activate the effect on demand.  Those who want to load the
+overrides at all times can either add them directly to their
+configuration or enable `modus-themes-summertime' BEFORE loading
+either of the Modus themes (if the overrides are evaluated after
+the theme, the theme must be reloaded).
+
+Remember that all changes to theme-related variables require a
+reload of the theme to take effect (the Modus themes have lots of
+user options, apart from those overrides).
+
+The `modus-themes-summertime' IS NOT an official extension to the
+Modus themes and DOES NOT comply with its lofty accessibility
+standards.  It is included in the official manual as guidance for

+#+cindex: Org custom emphasis faces
+
+Org provides the user option ~org-emphasis-alist~ which associates a
+character with a face, list of faces, or face attributes.  The default
+specification of that variable looks like this:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(setq org-emphasis-alist
+      '(("*" bold)
+        ("/" italic)
+        ("_" underline)
+        ("=" org-verbatim verbatim)
+        ("~" org-code verbatim)
+        ("+" (:strike-through t))))
+#+end_src
+
+With the exception of ~org-verbatim~ and ~org-code~ faces, everything else
+uses the corresponding type of emphasis: a bold typographic weight, or
+italicised, underlined, and struck through text.
+
+The best way for users to add some extra attributes, such as a
+foreground color, is to define their own faces and assign them to the
+given emphasis marker/character.
+
+This is a custom face that extends the standard ~bold~ face with a red
+foreground value (so it colorises the text in addition to the bold
+weight):
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defface my-org-emphasis-bold
+  '((default :inherit bold)
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+     :foreground "#a60000")
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+     :foreground "#ff8059"))
+  "My bold emphasis for Org.")
+#+end_src
+
+This face definition reads as follows:
+
++ Always inherit the ~bold~ face ([[#h:2793a224-2109-4f61-a106-721c57c01375][Configure bold and italic faces]]).
++ For versions of Emacs that support at least 88 colors (graphical
+  Emacs, for example) and use a light background, apply the =#a60000=
+  value.
++ For the same kind of Emacs that has a dark background use the =#ff8059=
+  color instead.
+
+Same principle for how to extend ~italic~ and ~underline~ with, for example,
+green and yellow hues, respectively:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defface my-org-emphasis-italic
+  '((default :inherit italic)
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+     :foreground "#005e00")
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+     :foreground "#44bc44"))
+  "My italic emphasis for Org.")
+
+(defface my-org-emphasis-underline
+  '((default :inherit underline)
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+     :foreground "#813e00")
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+     :foreground "#d0bc00"))
+  "My underline emphasis for Org.")
+#+end_src
+
+In the case of a strike-through effect, we have no generic face to
+inherit from, so we can write it as follows to also change the
+foreground to a more subtle gray:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defface my-org-emphasis-strike-through
+  '((default :strike-through t)
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+     :foreground "#505050")
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+     :foreground "#a8a8a8"))
+  "My strike-through emphasis for Org.")
+#+end_src
+
+Or we can just change the color of the line that strikes through the
+text to, for example, a shade of red:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defface my-org-emphasis-strike-through
+  '((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+     :strike-through "#972500")
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+     :strike-through "#ef8b50"))
+  "My strike-through emphasis for Org.")
+#+end_src
+
+It is possible to combine those effects:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defface my-org-emphasis-strike-through
+  '((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
+     :strike-through "#972500" :foreground "#505050")
+    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
+     :strike-through "#ef8b50" :foreground "#a8a8a8"))
+  "My strike-through emphasis for Org.")
+#+end_src
+
+One may inspect the variables ~modus-themes-operandi-colors~ and
+~modus-themes-vivendi-colors~ for possible color values.  Or call the
+command ~modus-themes-list-colors~ to show a buffer that previews each
+entry in the palette.
+
+[[#h:f4d4b71b-2ca5-4c3d-b0b4-9bfd7aa7fb4d][Visualize the active Modus theme's palette]].
+
+Once we have defined the faces we need, we must update the
+~org-emphasis-alist~.  Given that ~org-verbatim~ and ~org-code~ are already
+styled by the themes, it probably is best not to edit them:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp

+Furthermore, the user option ~modus-themes-mode-line~ ([[#h:27943af6-d950-42d0-bc23-106e43f50a24][Mode line]]) does not
+allow for such a negative value because there are many edge cases that
+simply make for a counter-intuitive set of possibilities, such as a =0=
+value not being acceptable by the underlying face infrastructure, and
+negative values greater than =-2= not being particularly usable.
+
+For these reasons, users who wish to decrease the overall height of the
+mode line must handle things on their own by implementing the methods
+for face customization documented herein.
+
+[[#h:1487c631-f4fe-490d-8d58-d72ffa3bd474][Basic face customization]].
+
+One such method is to create a function that configures the desired
+faces and hook it to ~modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook~ so that it
+persists while switching between the Modus themes with the command
+~modus-themes-toggle~.
+
+This one simply disables the box altogether, which will reduce the
+height of the mode lines, but also remove their border:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+  (set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :box nil)
+  (set-face-attribute 'mode-line-inactive nil :box nil))
+
+(add-hook 'modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook #'my-modus-themes-custom-faces)
+#+end_src
+
+The above relies on the ~set-face-attribute~ function, though users who
+plan to re-use colors from the theme and do so at scale are better off
+with the more streamlined combination of the ~modus-themes-with-colors~
+macro and ~custom-set-faces~.
+
+[[#h:51ba3547-b8c8-40d6-ba5a-4586477fd4ae][Face customization at scale]].
+
+As explained before in this document, this approach has a syntax that is
+consistent with the source code of the themes, so it probably is easier
+to re-use parts of the design.
+
+The following emulates the stock Emacs style, while still using the
+colors of the Modus themes (whichever attribute is not explicitly stated
+is inherited from the underlying theme):
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+  (modus-themes-with-colors
+    (custom-set-faces
+     `(mode-line ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :style released-button))))
+     `(mode-line-inactive ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :color ,bg-region)))))))
+
+(add-hook 'modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook #'my-modus-themes-custom-faces)
+#+end_src
+
+And this one is like the out-of-the-box style of the Modus themes, but
+with the -1 height instead of 1:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+  (modus-themes-with-colors
+    (custom-set-faces
+     `(mode-line ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :color ,fg-alt))))
+     `(mode-line-inactive ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :color ,bg-region)))))))
+
+(add-hook 'modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook #'my-modus-themes-custom-faces)
+#+end_src
+
+Finally, to also change the background color of the active mode line,
+such as that it looks like the "accented" variant which is possible via
+the user option ~modus-themes-mode-line~, the =:background= attribute needs
+to be specified as well:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defun my-modus-themes-custom-faces ()
+  (modus-themes-with-colors
+    (custom-set-faces
+     `(mode-line ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :color ,fg-alt) :background ,bg-active-accent)))
+     `(mode-line-inactive ((,class :box (:line-width -1 :color ,bg-region)))))))

+
+The themes are designed with the intent to be useful to Emacs users of
+varying skill levels, from beginners to experts.  This means that we try
+to make things easier by not expecting anyone reading this document to
+be proficient in Emacs Lisp or programming in general.
+
+Such a case is with the use of the ~modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook~,
+which runs after ~modus-themes-toggle~, ~modus-themes-load-operandi~, or
+~modus-themes-load-vivendi~ is evaluated.  We recommend using that hook
+for advanced customizations, because (1) we know for sure that it is
+available once the themes are loaded, and (2) anyone consulting this
+manual, especially the sections on enabling and loading the themes, will
+be in a good position to benefit from that hook.
+
+Advanced users who have a need to switch between the Modus themes and
+other items will find that such a hook does not meet their requirements:
+it only works with the Modus themes and only with the aforementioned
+functions.
+
+A theme-agnostic setup can be configured thus:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defvar after-enable-theme-hook nil
+   "Normal hook run after enabling a theme.")
+
+(defun run-after-enable-theme-hook (&rest _args)

+   (run-hooks 'after-enable-theme-hook))
+
+(advice-add 'enable-theme :after #'run-after-enable-theme-hook)
+#+end_src
+
+This creates the ~after-enable-theme-hook~ and makes it run after each
+call to ~enable-theme~, which means that it will work for all themes and
+also has the benefit that it does not depend on functions such as
+~modus-themes-toggle~ and the others mentioned above.  ~enable-theme~ is
+called internally by ~load-theme~, so the hook works everywhere.
+
+Now this specific piece of Elisp may be simple for experienced users,
+but it is not easy to read for newcomers, including the author of the
+Modus themes for the first several months of their time as an Emacs
+user.  Hence our hesitation to recommend it as part of the standard
+setup of the Modus themes (it is generally a good idea to understand
+what the implications are of advising a function).

+Ediff uses the same color-coding as ordinary diffs in ~diff-mode~, Magit,
+etc. ([[#h:ea7ac54f-5827-49bd-b09f-62424b3b6427][Option for diff buffer looks]]).  This is consistent with the
+principle of least surprise.
+
+Users may, however, prefer to treat Ediff differently on the premise
+that it does not need any particular color-coding to show added or
+removed lines/words: it does not use the =+= or =-= markers, after all.
+
+This can be achieved by customizing the Ediff faces with color
+combinations that do not carry the same connotations as those of diffs.

+([[#h:c119d7b2-fcd4-4e44-890e-5e25733d5e52][Option for syntax highlighting]]).  This is due to the multitude of
+preferences involved: one may like comments to be styled with an accent
+value, another may want certain constructs to be bold, a third may apply
+italics to doc strings but not comments...  The possibilities are
+virtually endless.  As such, this sort of design is best handled at the
+user level in accordance with the information furnished elsewhere in
+this manual.

-Such a case is with the use of the ~modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook~,

-Advanced users who have a need to switch between the Modus themes and
-other items will find that such a hook does not meet their requirements:
-it only works with the Modus themes and only with the aforementioned

+The gist is that we want to override the font-lock faces.  For our
+changes to persist while switching between ~modus-operandi~ and
+~modus-vivendi~ we wrap our face overrides in a function that we hook to
+~modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook~.
+
+Users who want to replicate the structure of the themes' source code are
+advised to use the examples with ~custom-set-faces~.  Those who prefer a
+different approach can use the snippets which call ~set-face-attribute~.
+Below are the code blocks.
+
+The following uses a yellow accent value for comments and green hues for
+strings.  Regexp grouping constructs have color values that work in the
+context of a green string.  All other elements use the main foreground
+color, except warnings such as the ~user-error~ function in Elisp
+buffers which gets a subtle red tint (not to be confused with the
+~warning~ face which is used for genuine warnings).  Furthermore, notice
+the ~modus-themes-bold~ and ~modus-themes-slant~ which apply the
+preference set in the user options ~modus-themes-bold-constructs~ and
+~modus-themes-italic-constructs~, respectively.  Users who do not want
+this conditionally must replace these faces with ~bold~ and ~italic~
+respectively (or ~unspecified~ to disable the effect altogether).

+:END:
+
+The =solaire-mode= package dims the background of what it considers
+ancillary "UI" buffers, such as the minibuffer and Dired buffers.  The
+Modus themes used to support Solaire on the premise that the user was
+(i) opting in to it, (ii) understood why certain buffers were more gray,
+and (iii) knew what other adjustments had to be made to prevent broken
+visuals (e.g. the default style of the ~modus-themes-completions~ uses a
+subtle gray background for the selection, which with Solaire becomes
+practically invisible).
+
+However, the assumption that users opt in to this feature does not
+always hold true.  There are cases where it is enabled by defaultsuch as
+in the popular Doom Emacs configuration.  Thus, the unsuspecting user
+who loads ~modus-operandi~ or ~modus-vivendi~ without the requisite
+customizations is getting a sub-par experience; an experience that we
+did not intend and cannot genuinely fix.
+
+Because the Modus themes are meant to work everywhere, we cannot make an
+exception for Doom Emacs and/or Solaire users.  Furthermore, we shall
+not introduce hacks, such as by adding a check in all relevant faces to
+be adjusted based on Solaire or whatever other package.  Hacks of this
+sort are unsustainable and penalize the entire userbase.  Besides, the
+themes are built into Emacs and we must keep their standard high.
+
+The fundamental constraint with Solaire is that Emacs does not have a
+real distinction between "content" and "UI" buffers.  For themes to work
+with Solaire, they need to be designed around that package.  Such is an
+arrangement that compromises on our accessibility standards and/or
+hinders our efforts to provide the best possible experience while using
+the Modus themes.
+
+As such, =solaire-mode= is not---and will not be---supported by the
+Modus themes (or any other of my themes, for that matter).  Users who
+want it must style the faces manually.  Below is some sample code, based
+on what we cover at length elsewhere in this manual:
+
+[[#h:f4651d55-8c07-46aa-b52b-bed1e53463bb][Advanced customization]].

-
-Nevertheless, ~display-fill-column-indicator-mode~ has some known

-appear as a series of dashes in certain contexts or under specific
-conditions: a non-default value for ~line-spacing~, scaled and/or
-variable-pitch headings have been observed to cause this effect.
+The ~display-fill-column-indicator-mode~ uses a typographic character to
+draw its line.  This has the downside of creating a dashed line.  The
+dashes are further apart depending on how tall the font's glyph height
+is and what integer the ~line-spacing~ is set to.
 
-Given that we cannot control such factors, it may be better for affected
-users to deviate from the default style of the ~fill-column-indicator~
-face.  Instead of setting a foreground color, one could use a background

+At the theme level we eliminate this effect by making the character one
+pixel tall: the line is contiguous.  Users who prefer the dashed line
+are advised to change the ~fill-column-indicator~ face, as explained
+elsewhere in this document.  For example:
 
 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 (modus-themes-with-colors

 [[#h:51ba3547-b8c8-40d6-ba5a-4586477fd4ae][Face specs at scale using the themes' palette]].
 
+To make the line thicker, set the height to be equal to the base font
+size instead of the one pixel we use.  This is done by specifying a rate
+instead of an absolute number, as in =:height 1.0= versus =:height 1=.

+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp

+
+The =highlight-parentheses= package provides contextual coloration of
+surrounding parentheses, highlighting only those which are around the
+point.  The package expects users to customize the applicable colors on
+their own by configuring certain variables.
+
+To make the Modus themes work as expected with this, we need to use some
+of the techniques that are discussed at length in the various
+"Do-It-Yourself" (DIY) sections, which provide insight into the more
+advanced customization options of the themes.
+
+[[#h:f4651d55-8c07-46aa-b52b-bed1e53463bb][Advanced customization]].
+
+In the following example, we are assuming that the user wants to (i)
+re-use color variables provided by the themes, (ii) be able to retain
+their tweaks while switching between ~modus-operandi~ and ~modus-vivendi~,
+and (iii) have the option to highlight either the foreground of the
+parentheses or the background as well.
+
+We start by defining our own variable, which will serve as a toggle
+between foreground and background coloration styles:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defvar my-highlight-parentheses-use-background t
+  "Prefer `highlight-parentheses-background-colors'.")
+#+end_src
+
+Then we can update our preference with this:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+;; Set to nil to disable backgrounds.
+(setq my-highlight-parentheses-use-background nil)
+#+end_src
+
+To re-use colors from the themes, we must wrap our code in the
+~modus-themes-with-colors~ macro.  Our implementation must interface with
+the variables ~highlight-parentheses-background-colors~ and/or
+~highlight-parentheses-colors~.
+
+So we can have something like this (the doc string of
+~modus-themes-with-colors~ explains where the names of the colors can be
+found):
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp

+:end:
+#+cindex: Themes, not color schemes
+
+No, the Modus themes are not color schemes.
+
+A color scheme is a collection of colors.  A good color scheme is a
+combination of colors with an inner logic or abstract structure.
+
+A theme is a set of patterns that are applied across different contexts.
+A good theme is one that does so with consistency, though not
+uniformity.
+
+In practical terms, a color scheme is what one uses when, for example,
+they edit the first sixteen escape sequences of a terminal emulator to
+the hues of their preference.  The terminal offers the option to choose,
+say, the exact value of what counts as "red", but does not provide the
+means to control where that is mapped to and whether it should also have
+other qualities such as a bold weight for the underlying text or an
+added background color.  In contradistinction, Emacs uses constructs
+known as "faces" which allow the user/developer to specify where a given
+color will be used and whether it should be accompanied by other
+typographic or stylistic attributes.
+
+By configuring the multitude of faces on offer we thus control both
+which colors are applied and how they appear in their context.  When a
+package wants to render each instance of "foo" with the "bar" face, it
+is not requesting a specific color, which makes things considerably more
+flexible as we can treat "bar" in its own right without necessarily
+having to use some color value that we hardcoded somewhere.
+
+Which brings us to the distinction between consistency and uniformity
+where our goal is always the former: we want things to look similar
+across all interfaces, but we must never force a visual identity where
+that runs contrary to the functionality of the given interface.  For
+instance, all links are underlined by default yet there are cases such
+as when viewing listings of emails in Gnus (and Mu4e, Notmuch) where (i)
+it is already understood that one must follow the indicator or headline
+to view its contents and (ii) underlining everything would make the
+interface virtually unusable.
+
+[[#h:5808be52-361a-4d18-88fd-90129d206f9b][Option for links]].
+
+Again, one must exercise judgement in order to avoid discrimination,
+where "discrimination" refers to:
+
++ The treatment of substantially different magnitudes as if they were of
+  the same class.
++ Or the treatment of the same class of magnitudes as if they were of a
+  different class.
+
+(To treat similar things differently; to treat dissimilar things alike.)
+
+If, in other words, one was to enforce uniformity without accounting for
+the particular requirements of each case---the contextual demands for
+usability beyond matters of color---they would be making a
+not-so-obvious error of treating different cases as if they were the
+same.
+
+The Modus themes prioritize "thematic consistency" over abstract harmony
+or regularity among their applicable colors.  In concrete terms, we do
+not claim that, say, our yellows are the best complements for our blues
+because we generally avoid using complementary colors side-by-side, so
+it is wrong to optimize for a decontextualised blue+yellow combination.
+Not to imply that our colors do not work well together because they do,
+just to clarify that consistency of context is what themes must strive
+for, and that requires widening the scope of the design beyond the
+particularities of a color scheme.
+
+Long story short: color schemes and themes have different requirements.
+Please do not conflate the two.
+
+** Port the Modus themes to other platforms?

+:end:
+#+cindex: Porting the themes to other editors
+
+There is no plan to port the themes to other platforms or text editors.
+I (Protesilaos) only use GNU Emacs and thus cannot maintain code that
+targets software I am either not familiar with or am not using on a
+daily basis.
+
+While it is possible to produce a simulacrum based on a given template,
+doing so would run contrary to how this project is maintained where
+details matter greatly.
+
+Each program has its own requirements so it won't always be
+possible---or indeed desirable---to have 1:1 correspondence between what
+applies to Emacs and what should be done elsewhere.  No port should ever
+strive to be a faithful copy of the Emacs implementation, as no other
+program is an Emacs equivalent, but instead try to follow the spirit of
+the design.  For example, some of the customization options accept a
+list as their value, or an alist, which may not be possible to reproduce
+on other platforms.
+
+[[#h:bf1c82f2-46c7-4eb2-ad00-dd11fdd8b53f][Customization options]].
+
+In other words, if something must be done differently on a certain
+editor then that is acceptable so long as (i) the accessibility
+standards are not compromised and (ii) the overall character of the
+themes remains consistent.
+
+The former criterion should be crystal clear as it pertains to the
+scientific foundations of the themes: high legibility and taking care of
+the needs of users with red-green color deficiency (deuteranopia) by
+avoiding red+green color coding paradigms and/or by providing red+blue
+variants.
+
+The latter criterion is the "je ne sais quoi" of the artistic aspect of
+the themes, which is partially fleshed out in this manual.
+
+[[#h:b3384767-30d3-4484-ba7f-081729f03a47][Frequently Asked Questions]].
+
+With regard to the artistic aspect (where "art" qua skill may amount to
+an imprecise science), there is no hard-and-fast rule in effect as it
+requires one to exercise discretion and make decisions based on
+context-dependent information or constraints.  As is true with most
+things in life, when in doubt, do not cling on to the letter of the law
+but try to understand its spirit.
+
+For a trivial example: the curly underline that Emacs draws for spelling
+errors is thinner than, e.g., what a graphical web browser has, so if I
+was to design for an editor than has a thicker curly underline I would
+make the applicable colors less intense to counterbalance the
+typographic intensity of the added thickness.
+
+With those granted, if anyone is willing to develop a port of the
+themes, they are welcome to contact me and I will do my best to help
+them in their efforts.

-A `monochrome' property makes all headings the same base color,

+A `monochrome' property makes the heading the same as the base
+color, which is that of the `default' face's foreground.  When
+`background' is also set, `monochrome' changes its color to gray.
+If both `monochrome' and `rainbow' are set, the former takes
+precedence.
+
+A `variable-pitch' property changes the font family of the
+heading to that of the `variable-pitch' face (normally a
+proportionately spaced typeface).
+
+The symbol of a weight attribute adjusts the font of the heading
+accordingly, such as `light', `semibold', etc.  Valid symbols are
+defined in the variable `modus-themes-weights'.  The absence of a
+weight means that bold will be used by virtue of inheriting the
+`bold' face (check the manual for tweaking bold and italic
+faces).  For backward compatibility, the `no-bold' value is
+accepted, though users are encouraged to specify a `regular'
+weight instead.
+
+A number, expressed as a floating point (e.g. 1.5), adjusts the
+height of the heading to that many times the base font size.  The
+default height is the same as 1.0, though it need not be
+explicitly stated.  Instead of a floating point, an acceptable
+value can be in the form of a cons cell like (height . FLOAT)
+or (height FLOAT), where FLOAT is the given number.
 
 Combinations of any of those properties are expressed as a list,
 like in these examples:
 
-    (no-bold)
+    (semibold)
     (rainbow background)
-    (overline monochrome no-bold)
+    (overline monochrome semibold 1.3)
+    (overline monochrome semibold (height 1.3)) ; same as above
+    (overline monochrome semibold (height . 1.3)) ; same as above
 
 The order in which the properties are set is not significant.
 
 In user configuration files the form may look like this:
 
     (setq modus-themes-headings
-          '((1 . (background overline rainbow))
-            (2 . (background overline))
-            (t . (overline no-bold))))

+                  (2 . (background overline 1.3))
+                  (t . (overline semibold)))))
 
 When defining the styles per heading level, it is possible to
 pass a non-nil value (t) instead of a list of properties.  This
 will retain the original aesthetic for that level.  For example:
 
     (setq modus-themes-headings
-          '((1 . t)           ; keep the default style
-            (2 . (background overline))
-            (t . (rainbow)))) ; style for all other headings
+          (quote ((1 . t)           ; keep the default style
+                  (2 . (background overline))
+                  (t . (rainbow))))) ; style for all other headings
 
     (setq modus-themes-headings

+                  (t . t)))) ; default style for all other levels
 
 For Org users, the extent of the heading depends on the variable
 `org-fontify-whole-heading-line'.  This affects the `overline'
 and `background' properties.  Depending on the version of Org,

+- `varied' differentiates between events with a plain time stamp

-This is a special option that has different effects depending on

-only or mostly use foreground colors for their interaction model,
-and (ii) those that combine background and foreground values for
-some of their metaphors.  The former category encompasses

-styles like Orderless and Flx.  The latter covers Helm, Ivy, and
-Sallet.
-
-A value of nil (the default) will simply respect the metaphors of
-each completion framework.
-
-Option `moderate' applies a combination of background and
-foreground that is fairly subtle.  For Icomplete and friends this
-constitutes a departure from their default aesthetics, however
-the difference is small.  While Helm, Ivy et al appear slightly
-different than their original looks, as they are toned down a
-bit.
-
-Option `opinionated' uses color combinations that refashion the
-completion UI.  For the Icomplete camp this means that intense
-background and foreground combinations are used: in effect their
-looks emulate those of Helm, Ivy and company in their original
-style.  Whereas the other group of packages will revert to an
-even more nuanced aesthetic with some additional changes to the
-choice of hues.
-
-To appreciate the scope of this customization option, you should

-and `opinionated' possibilities."
+  "Control the style of completion user interfaces.
+
+This affects Company, Corfu, Flx, Helm, Icomplete/Fido, Ido, Ivy,
+Mct, Orderless, Selectrum, Vertico.  The value is an alist that
+takes the form of a (key . properties) combination.  Here is a
+sample, followed by a description of the particularities:
+
+    (setq modus-themes-completions

+                  (selection . (semibold accented intense))
+                  (popup . (accented)))))
+
+The `matches' key refers to the highlighted characters that
+correspond to the user's input.  By default (nil or an empty
+list), they have a bold weight and a colored foreground.  The
+list of properties may include any of the following symbols
+regardless of the order they may appear in:
+
+- `background' to add a background color;
+
+- `intense' to increase the overall coloration (also amplifies
+  the `background', if present);
+
+- `underline' to draw a line below the characters;
+
+- `italic' to use a slanted font (italic or oblique forms);
+
+- The symbol of a font weight attribute such as `light',
+  `semibold', et cetera.  Valid symbols are defined in the
+  variable `modus-themes-weights'.  The absence of a weight means
+  that bold will be used.
+
+The `selection' key applies to the current line or currently
+matched candidate, depending on the specifics of the User
+Interface.  By default (nil or an empty list), it has a subtle
+gray background, a bold weight, and the base foreground value
+for the text.  The list of properties it accepts is as
+follows (order is not significant):
+
+- `accented' to make the background colorful instead of gray;
+
+- `text-also' to apply extra color to the text of the selected
+  line;
+
+- `intense' to increase the overall coloration;
+
+- `underline' to draw a line below the characters;
+
+- `italic' to use a slanted font (italic or oblique forms);
+
+- The symbol of a font weight attribute such as `light',
+  `semibold', et cetera.  Valid symbols are defined in the
+  variable `modus-themes-weights'.  The absence of a weight means
+  that bold will be used.
+
+The `popup' key takes the same values as `selection'.
+
+Apart from specifying each key separately, a fallback list is
+accepted.  This is only useful when the desired aesthetic is the
+same across all keys that are not explicitly referenced.  For
+example, this:
+
+    (setq modus-themes-completions
+          (quote ((t . (extrabold intense)))))
+
+Is the same as:
+
+    (setq modus-themes-completions
+          (quote ((matches . (extrabold intense))
+                  (selection . (extrabold intense))
+                  (popup . (extrabold intense)))))
+
+In the case of the fallback, any property that does not apply to
+the corresponding key is simply ignored (`matches' does not have
+`accented' and `text-also', while `selection' and `popup' do not
+have `background').
+
+A concise expression of those associations can be written as
+follows, where the `car' is always the key and the `cdr' is the
+list of properties (whatever order they may appear in):
+
+    (setq modus-themes-completions
+          (quote ((matches extrabold background intense)
+                  (selection semibold accented intense)
+                  (popup accented))))
+
+Check the manual for tweaking `bold' and `italic' faces: Info
+node `(modus-themes) Configure bold and italic faces'.
+
+Also refer to the Orderless documentation for its intersection
+with Company (if you choose to use those in tandem)."

+The value is a list of properties, each designated by a symbol.
+The default (a nil value or an empty list) is a gray background
+combined with a pseudo three-dimensional effect.
+
+The `flat' property makes the button two dimensional.
+
+The `accented' property changes the background from gray to an
+accent color.
+
+The `faint' property reduces the overall coloration.
+
+The `variable-pitch' property applies a proportionately spaced
+typeface to the button's text.
+
+The `underline' property draws a line below the affected text and
+removes whatever box effect.  This is optimal when Emacs runs
+inside a terminal emulator.  If `flat' and `underline' are
+defined together, the latter takes precedence.
+
+The symbol of a weight attribute adjusts the font of the button
+accordingly, such as `light', `semibold', etc.  Valid symbols are
+defined in the variable `modus-themes-weights'.
+
+A number, expressed as a floating point (e.g. 0.9), adjusts the
+height of the button's text to that many times the base font
+size.  The default height is the same as 1.0, though it need not
+be explicitly stated.  Instead of a floating point, an acceptable
+value can be in the form of a cons cell like (height . FLOAT)
+or (height FLOAT), where FLOAT is the given number.
+
+The `all-buttons' property extends the box button effect (or the
+aforementioned properties) to the faces of the generic widget
+library.  By default, those do not look like the buttons of the
+Custom UI as they are ordinary text wrapped in square brackets.
+
+Combinations of any of those properties are expressed as a list,

+
+    (flat)
+    (variable-pitch flat)
+    (variable-pitch flat semibold 0.9)
