Dianciemacs is a minimal and elegant Emacs distribution for those who prefer simplicity and aesthetics.
The current default theme used is a custom theme called [hazakura](https://github.com/devraza/hazakura-emacs).
> The interface has been designed to work with this theme, so be careful when making changes!
Internal modules such as keybinds, macros, etc. are named with `diancite` for simplicity and readability.

## Configuration
If you wish to make your changes to the default configuration, simply make any changes to the the `init.el` file in the `user/` directory - this directory is reserved completely to users, so feel free to add any extra files.

## Development
Dianciemacs is currently walking it's first steps. As such, there's a lot of functionality it doesn't have that most Emacs configuration frameworks do.
Dianciemacs, as of the time of writing, works well as an Emacs configuration - but that's about it. Feature-parity with other Emacs configuration *frameworks* is planned, but, truth be told, it's abysmal right now. I recommend you give this config a try nevertheless.
This project will definitely undergo several (possibly **breaking**) changes as it matures - something you should note if you're considering using Dianciemacs.

## Contribution
Contributions are very welcome! I don't know much about Emacs lisp, so if you want a cool feature (that I may or may not have on the roadmap) and have the e-lisp proficiency, I'll happily accept it.
Contributions are very welcome! Honestly speaking, I don't know all there is to know about Emacs/lisp, so if you want a cool feature (that I may or may not have on the roadmap) and have the e-lisp proficiency, I'll happily consider it.
