+- What's this theme?
+- i'll be sharing this with my friends that praise on vscode
+- Wow, incredible analysis of that editor.
+- looks beautiful
+- how much of that is just bigger margins and roboto though?
+- I love nano Emacs. I use it too
+- i wonder if I can steal the splash screen and header line
+- I really think that the default emacs theme could use this kind of effort and scrutiny in order to improve it
+- A4: good idea, but few people have A4 *screens*...
+- holy crap it looks so good
+- yet again, though, the contrast is awful! black and white, please, not light grey and not-quite-so-light grey. it's almost unreadable, IMHO
+- How hard would it be to integrate nano emacs changes with the default emacs? Like, would there be a lot of pushback?
+ - of course! there was massive pushbac over using curly quotes, for goodness' sake
+- Are you aware of the modus-themes and what are your thoughts after contrast and accessibility?
+ - yeah, i just love modus themes by Prot because i'm colorblind and the fact that it has a strict contrast ratio is really really helpful, but even on modus themes i have to set success, error and warning to some really strong colors like pure red, green and blue
+ - I'm *not* colourblind and having high contrast is still good! there's a reason books are black on white, not grey on grey. or at least the background and body-text foreground must be highly distinct
+ - protesilaos: there are also options for deuteranopia, in case you need them (will need to refactor them for simplicity's sake)
+- What Nicolas Rougier does is most welcome. Emacs can benefit a lot from such work.
+- hmmm maybe Emacs needs to be able to handle WOFF! sounds like a job for fontconfig, I might look at it some day
+- Nano Emacs + modus-themes would be a perfect combination, as it were.
