Make parenthesis lighter or slightly transparent
(alien.top)
I use the rainbow-delimiters
package, which gives you up to 9 faces to set parentheses
9?
Holy cow. It may have been RMS who said if you are even "four-deep" it's time to refactor.
No clue about RMS, but I know for a fact Torvalds said that.
I also use rainbow-delimiters, but they are a bit too bright in my dark theme, so I:
(use-package rainbow-delimiters
:config
;; Darken them a bit
(cl-loop for f in (face-list)
if (and (string-prefix-p "rainbow-delimiters" (symbol-name f))
(face-foreground f)) do
(set-face-foreground f (color-darken-name (face-foreground f) 15))))
See also color-lighten-name
to go the other way.
See the paren-face package. The diagram you mention sounds like the one in the repository README. (I think the diagram has been used in longer article too, but I'm not sure where it originated.)
