+# Tomorrow Night Paradise
+
+A light-on-dark Emacs theme which is essentially a tweaked version of Chris
+Kempson's [Tomorrow Night Bright][tomorrow] theme.
+
+Particularly colors have been adjusted to look right in a xterm-256color
+terminal. Additionally window borders have been given a more minimal look and
+face definitions have been added for various packages I use on a daily basis.
