airline-themes

This is a port of the themes in vim-airline to emacs powerline.

Features

• Separate colors for each major evil mode (normal, insert, visual, replace, emacs)
• Can set Helm colors
• Can set the current cursor color based on the current airline theme
• Works nicely in the gui or terminal

Eshell Colors

Here is a shot of eshell in use with the prompt set to match the current airline theme (airline-base16-shell-dark):

Helm Colors

Here is a shot of helm-mini with the airline-base16-shell-dark and airline-papercolor themes.

Installation

Requirements

• powerline
• evil (optional but recommended)

Install via melpa or clone this repo into your load-path and add the following to your init.el

(require 'airline-themes)
(load-theme 'airline-light)

If you don't load a theme in your init.el then the default mode-line-format doesn't get set at startup and applying a theme may not look right. If things don't look right after applying a theme run airline-themes-set-modeline or (kill-local-variable 'mode-line-format)) and it should apply the styling to the current buffer.

• Glyph Variables

  These variables control which UTF glyphs are used on the modeline. They require a powerline patched font. Head over to https://github.com/powerline/fonts if you need one.

  Depending on your font, you may need to set the correct glyph character. Here are the ones used by airline themes. The default characters are in the vim-powerline column.

  | Variable Name                        | powerline   | vim-powerline (default) |
  |--------------------------------------+-------------+-------------------------|
  | airline-utf-glyph-separator-left     | ''  #xe0b0 | '⮀'  #x2b80             |
  | airline-utf-glyph-separator-right    | ''  #xe0b2 | '⮂'  #x2b82             |
  | airline-utf-glyph-subseparator-left  | ''  #xe0b1 | '⮁'  #x2b81             |
  | airline-utf-glyph-subseparator-right | ''  #xe0b3 | '⮃'  #x2b83             |
  | airline-utf-glyph-branch             | ''  #xe0a0 | '⭠'  #x2b60             |
  | airline-utf-glyph-readonly           | ''  #xe0a2 | '⭤'  #x2b64             |
  | airline-utf-glyph-linenumber         | ''  #xe0a1 | '⭡'  #x2b61             |
  

  If your font characters don't look right try setting them to the powerline utf glyphs by adding this to your init.el:

  (setq powerline-utf-8-separator-left        #xe0b0
        powerline-utf-8-separator-right       #xe0b2
        airline-utf-glyph-separator-left      #xe0b0
        airline-utf-glyph-separator-right     #xe0b2
        airline-utf-glyph-subseparator-left   #xe0b1
        airline-utf-glyph-subseparator-right  #xe0b3
        airline-utf-glyph-branch              #xe0a0
        airline-utf-glyph-readonly            #xe0a2
        airline-utf-glyph-linenumber          #xe0a1)
