Eva themes built from https://github.com/kjakapat/base16-eva-scheme

Eva is a base16-color scheme inspired by fighting scenes during the gloomy weather of Evangelion Unit-01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Evangelion Unit-01 illustrated by artist qs2435.

The themes in this repository were built by using https://github.com/belak/base16-builder-go.

Color design

The scheme consists of three groups of colors representing fluorescent surfaces, solid surfaces, and background objects in the fighting scenes.

• Fluorescent colors*:
• Solid colors:
• Background colors:

* The fluorescent color codes are from Crayola crayon colors.

Visibility

The visibility of the colors in this scheme divided into five groups according to their contrast ratios:

1. Background colors: consist of various shades of dark cyan, grey and white colors, the default background color (#2a3b4d) has a contrast ratio of 1.0,
2. Comments: the contrast ratio of the comments is 2.5, which makes the comments less visible and less distracted,
3. Normal texts: the contrast ratio of the normal texts is 4.5, as recommended in G18: Ensuring that a contrast ratio of at least 4.5,
4. Solid-color texts: the contrast ratio of the solid colors is 3.0, this value makes the solid color texts more distinguishable from the fluorescent color texts,
5. Fluorescent-color texts: the contrast ratios of the colors in this category are more than 5.0, using to emphasize important parts of the codes such as classes, functions, methods, strings, integers, and so on.

Note: the contrast ratios calculated by comparing the target colors to the default background color (#2a3b4d).

Screenshots

Note: For anyone who wants to use the Eva scheme with darker fluorescent colors, please try the alternative eva-dim scheme .

Missing autoload for Emacs

Right now, it isn't possible to easily clone this repo in an Emacs config and have it automatically available for load-theme, since it doesn't modify custom-theme-load-path automatically. From https://github.com/belak/base16-emacs/blob/d68512c0856f57a19cd49d1034199836352c15a0/base16-theme.el#L959, some idiomatic code for doing so is

;;;###autoload
(and load-file-name
     (boundp 'custom-theme-load-path)
     (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path
                  (file-name-as-directory
                   (file-name-directory load-file-name))))

so the config needs to look something like

(use-package base16-eva-theme
  :demand t
  :straight (:host github
             :repo "kjakapat/eva-theme"
             :files ("emacs/build/*.el"))
  :config
  (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path
               (concat straight-base-dir
                       "straight/build/base16-eva-theme/"))
  (load-theme 'base16-eva t))

if you don't want to just copy the elisp file into your config dir. With the autoload, I could get rid of the (add-to-list ... bit.

I found that there is something wrong in your st config

This could be the correct color setting:

(I didn't have a look on dim version so I don't know the file"base16-eva-dim.diff" is correct or not)

By the way, your color scheme is so cool and i love it! Have a good day!
