Background Color of Inline Image for Orgmode in Dark Theme
29 April 2022
Displaying inline image in orgmode is useful. But when emacs theme is dark theme and the image has transparent background, the image is difficult to view.
To fix this problem, we can define an advice to filter the image from
org--create-inline-image
.
(defun org--create-inline-image-advice (img) (nconc img (list :background "#f8f8f8"))) (advice-add 'org--create-inline-image :filter-return #'org--create-inline-image-advice)
org--create-inline-image-advice
adds :background
to the image. #f8f8f8
is the light white color I used for light theme.
:filter-return
is the where
argument for advice-add
, this means the
advice function is applied to the result of the original function:
(lambda (&rest r) (funcall advice-function (apply oldfun r)))
With the advice, the transparent background inline image looks the same no matter light or dark theme.
