This is one of our practical examples to override the semantic colors of the Modus themes (Stylistic variants using palette overrides). Here we show how to affect just the ‘TODO’ and ‘DONE’ keywords that we encounter in Org buffers. The idea is to make those pop out more or to subdue them.
Make headings more or less colorful.
Make inline code in prose use alternative styles.
;; Increase intensity
(setq modus-themes-common-palette-overrides
'((prose-done green-intense)
(prose-todo red-intense)))
;; Tone down intensity
(setq modus-themes-common-palette-overrides
'((prose-done green-faint) ; OR replace `green-faint' with `olive'
(prose-todo red-faint))) ; OR replace `red-faint' with `rust'
;; Keep TODO at its default (so no override for it), but make DONE
;; gray.
(setq modus-themes-common-palette-overrides
'((prose-done fg-dim)))
Reload the theme for changes to take effect.
