Installation

The Modus themes are distributed with Emacs starting with version 28.1. On older versions of Emacs, they can be installed using Emacs’s package manager or manually from their code repository. There also exist packages for distributions of GNU/Linux.

Emacs 28 ships with modus-themes version ‘1.6.0’. Emacs 29 includes version ‘3.0.0’. Emacs 30 provides a newer, refactored version that thoroughly refashions how the themes are implemented and customized. Such major versions are not backward-compatible due to the limited resources at the maintainer’s disposal to support multiple versions of Emacs and of the themes across the years.
