# Discussion
+- Q1: Do you have any plans for somewhat scientific testing of colors,
+ layout, etc?
+ - A: There are already some studies on the usefulness of
+ colorization but they\'re not consistent. I would love to make a
+ study with some students but it\'s a bit beyond my expertise.
+- Q2: I have really enjoyed looking at the development of NANO emacs.
+ The only thing I slightly disagree with are the colours: on my
+ system some of them are extremely low-contrast and faded. Otherwise
+ the design is fantastic! Do you have any comments on the colour
+ scheme?
+ - A: I think you\'re right and I might need to revise the color
+ scheme, taking inspiration (or copying) some of the colors from
+ modus themes since Prot designed proper colors backed by
+ scientific theory.
+- Q3: Are your examples hand-selected from design-perspective or does
+ \"everything\" look good automatically with your setup?
+ - A: Screenshots I\'ve shown are available on GitHub and you
+ should obtain the same if you install them. Some parts come from
+ my personal configuration (org-agenda and mu4e mostly) but I can
+ post the code if you\'re interested.
+- Q4: Should we use monocromatic colour schemes over full-coloured
+ ones?
+ - A: I\'m not sure I can answer this question, I would need to
+ search if there are any recommendation on that matter.
+- Q5: Are there ways that emacs could be improved to make these kinds
+ of usability experiments easier and more accessible to users? For
+ example making it easier to switch between such experiments?
+ - A: <https://github.com/plexus/chemacs> is a perfect answer. It
+ allows you to switch from one configuration to another without
+ messing up your own.
+- Q6: Would it be possible to integrate nano emacs design to default
+ emacs design? What would the pushback be for integrating \"better\"
+ UI changes?
+ - A: I think Emacs would benefit from better defaults and I would
+ vote for modus themes to be the new default theme. Next would be
+ to package Emacs with a decent font (e.g. Julia Mono, Iosevka,
+ Inconsolata, Victor Mono) that would really help changing the
+ first impression of new users. Last would be to tweak a the
+ mode-line a bit.
+- Q7:Spellchecking now highlights the whole word, to me this is a bit
+ too emphasized. Are there plans to make these less intrusive; i.e.
+ underline or similar? (And no, no bright red crinkles ;)
+ - A: Good point, can you open an issuer on GitHub?
+
- What's this theme?
- i'll be sharing this with my friends that praise on vscode
- Wow, incredible analysis of that editor.
