I used this answer to try to get eww to use more readable colours for me in my configuration, which uses the monokai theme:

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/3523/5495

That answer uses load-theme-buffer-local. Using the answer as-is (with the tango theme) still gives different results than running eww from emacs -q (in particular, a darker background if I visit https://news.ycombinator.com/).

Is there a different theme name I can use here that will give results similar to what I get before applying any theme? Or some other way to get an equivalent effect -- i.e. effectively not applying the monokai theme to eww buffers?

  • If you really like `eww` as opposed to other options such as `emacs-w3m`, then I would suggest two different possible approaches. (1) You could have your custom themes load for each particular major-mode (i.e., you decide) on a `buffer-local` basis so as not to modify your *default theme* -- the *default theme* is not really a theme per se; instead, there are approximately 805 different face settings that come shipped with Emacs (e.g., grep for `defface` in the source code). (2) You could familiarize yourself with the source code of `shr.el` and modify it to suit your personal taste. – lawlist Mar 23 '15 at 17:09
