Ouroboros Themes

Ouroboros is a collection of four emacs themes inspired by the alchemical process: melanosis, leucosis, xanthosis, and iosis.

These four stages correspond to four colours which are the focal point of each theme.

They also correspond to four stages of the day, with future intent being to transition between themes depending on the current time - a dynamic theme. This is currently limited by me not knowing a good way to interpolate theme colors in emacs.

Theme Primary Time of Day Inspiration
Melanosis Black Midnight Night Sky
Xanthosis Yellow Dawn Yellowing ABS
Leucosis White Mid-day Opal
Iosis Red/Purple Dusk Sunset
