fonts and colorschemes for sis
#+title: UI Stuff for Spyder
These will help your eyes.
* Colorschemes
A good color scheme is the most important thing to use - it will help you quickly identify stuff such as functions, methods, keywords, etc.
- [[https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/][Solarized]] - a nice blue theme, personally way too much blue for my taste, but very clear contrast.
- [[https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox][Gruvbox]] - what I personally use, on medium contrast, dark theme. No documentation, so implementations in different editors vary.
- [[https://nordtheme.com][Nord]] - A low contrast, pastel theme. It's got great documentation, but too low contrast for me.
- [[https://github.com/navarasu/onedark.nvim/][One Dark]] - based on the atom theme, this implementation has several different versions.
* Fonts
You will want to install a [[https://nerdfonts.com][Nerd Font]] version of your font, just so you can insert icons if you ever need them. Of course, you can also patch your own font if you prefer.
- [[https://github.com/be5invis/iosevka][Iosevka]] - a nice font, narrow, and tall. Can also be built from source code, using [[https://typeof.net/Iosevka/customizer][the customizer]] to plan your build. What I personally use, with a custom build.
- [[https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Mono?category=Monospace][Roboto Mono]]: Wider than Iosevka, but still has the slashed zero I like.
- [[https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono][JetBrains Mono]]: A very popular monospace font, with ligatures. However, I find it to be too wide for my taste (plus I like the slashed zero of Iosevka. Also available as a base in a custom Iosevka build.
