This is a continuation from a previous blog post. In this post I’m going to focus on making emacs look a bit better.

Currently:

Install a nicer theme

I like the taming-mr-arneson-theme, so let’s install that one. Feel free to browse the emacs themes and find one that you like more.

$ `mkdir ~/.emacs.d/color-themes`
$ `wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emacs-jp/replace-colorthemes/d23b086141019c76ea81881bda00fb385f795048/taming-mr-arneson-theme.el`

Update your ~/emacs.d/init.el to add the following lines to the top of the file:

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "/Users/tleyden/.emacs.d/color-themes/")
(load-theme 'taming-mr-arneson t)

Now when you restart emacs it should look like this:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/some/path/neotree")
(require 'neotree)

Open a .go file and the enter M-x neotree-dir to show a directory browser:
