An Emacs theme to support Magit and related modes by inheriting from standard Emacs faces such as those provided by Emacs VC and Diff. This allows Magit to blend in with the rest of the theme.
This theme does not follow the Magit advice on theming faces. It will hide the finer details of Magit and result in a loss of visual information. See magit/magit#4079 for a discussion.
NOTE: This currently only works if the theme has not defined faces for Magit.
The unobtrusive-magit-theme is available from both MELPA and MELPA
Stable.
See documentation to learn more about Emacs package.
Add the path to unobtrusive-magit-theme to the

Load the desired theme, then load the unobtrusive-magit theme.
For example, to improve the Magit faces for the built-in manoj-dark
theme, run the following commands within Emacs.
M-x load-theme RET manoj-dark
M-x load-theme RET unobtrusive-magit
The unobtrusive-magit theme should be disabled when the desired
frame is disabled.
M-x disable-theme RET unobtrusive-magit
M-x disable-theme RET manoj-dark
There are screenshots showing the changes to a theme both before and
after loading the unobtrusive-magit theme. Each screenshot shows
several windows containing equivalent Emacs VC buffers on the left
side of the screen and Magit buffers on the right side of the screen.
The screenshots were generated using the system screenshot tool.
