Support different base colours #61

First off, let me give you a huge amount of thanks for making such a nice theme. Making Emacs pretty is always quite a challenge, and you have managed pretty well so far :)

I was just wondering if it'd be possible to have different versions of the dark theme where the base colour is not just purple (e.g. having a spacemacs-red, spacemacs-blue, etc.), and whether you think this might be feasible to achieve with the current scheme (e.g. by for instance adding some $COLOUR to the current ones).

Hey @edran thanks for the kind words :smile:

You can do that right now with spacemacs-theme. For example, just add this to your dotspacemacs/user-init:

  (custom-set-variables '(spacemacs-theme-custom-colors
                          '((act1 . "#ff0000")
                            (act2 . "#0000ff")
                            (base . "#ffffff"))))

To change the act1, act2 and base .

Excellent :)

The only issue with this particular solution is that it's harder to deal with both dark and light theme, so I wonder if it'd be easier to ship the theme directly with a custom function?

Yes the solution I mentioned won't work for both variants. I need to play with this a bit to see what's the best way to support both variants.
