Installation

You can use built-in package manager (package.el) or do everything by your hands.

Using package manager

This theme is available on two repositories: MELPA and Marmalade. Add the following to your emacs config file somewhere (.emacs, init.el, whatever)

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)

for MELPA, or

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") t)

for Marmalade.

I personally prefer MELPA, 'cause it hourly updates its packages from upstream source.

Then use M-x package-install RET gruber-darker-theme RET to install the theme. Use M-x customize-themes to change your current theme.

Manual old fashioned way

Download the theme to your local directory. You can do it through git clone command:

git clone git://github.com/rexim/gruber-darker-theme.git

Then add path to gruber-darker-theme to custom-theme-load-path list — add the following to your emacs config file somewhere (.emacs, init.el, whatever):

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path
             "/path/to/gruber-darker-theme/")

Use M-x customize-themes to change your current theme.

Contribution

Gruber Darker is an awesome theme. But it has a lack of support for many good modes. I add color faces only for modes I use. If you like this theme and use a mode that looks very bad with it, feel free to add appropriate color faces (see file gruber-darker-theme.el) and send me a pull request.

Thanks.
