Summary

Makes Emacs theme works on terminal transparently

Commentary

This package advises the `enable-theme' function and convert non-terminal colors
to their closest approximation. Inspired by VIM's CSApprox plugin
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2390

Normally Emacs does have non-terminal color themes degrade, however in some
system the effect is pretty poor. I've encountered this on Arch Linux and
Ubuntu (probably caused by some libvte weirdness).

Installation:
Add the to your .emacs or similar:

(autoload 'color-theme-approximate-on "color-theme-approximate")
(color-theme-approximate-on)
