)(Here I set the basic faces for the configuration.
(default :font ec-standard-font
:slant 'normal
:weight 'normal
:height 120
:width 'normal)
(fixed-pitch :font ec-standard-font
:slant 'normal
:weight 'normal
:height 120
:width 'normal)
(variable-pitch :font "Iosevka Aile"
:slant 'normal
:weight 'normal
:height 120
:width 'normal)Here I set the various faces for programming languages and italicize comments. As you can see I use a mixture of bold and italic faces in order to do this as it makes the faces distinctive without making it so that I have to go outside my limited color palette for this theme.
;; Code style improvements.
(font-lock-keyword-face :foreground red :slant 'italic)
(font-lock-function-name-face :weight 'bold :slant 'italic )
(font-lock-constant-face :foreground red)
(font-lock-builtin-face :foreground red)
(font-lock-variable-name-face :slant 'italic)
;; italic comments
(font-lock-comment-face :slant 'italic :foreground comments)
;; make block highlighting more bearable
(show-paren-match-expression :weight 'bold)Here I set faces for the stuff that is used in interface like stuff rather than code or a file like thing. So docs, dired, and so on.
