The main file, modus-themes.el, has had this minimum requirement on
Emacs 27.1 for a while now.
Thanks to Togan Muftuoglu for reporting the inconsistency in issue 246:
<https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/246>.
This is related to issue 164, which pertains to a problem in byte
compilation that is experienced while using 'straight.el' on Emacs 28:
<https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/164>.
Thanks, in no particular order, to everyone who has participated thus
far in that thread: John Haman, Trey, Nicolas De Jaeghere, Mauro Aranda.
This snippet is courtesy of Basil L. Contovounesios. It is meant to
make the themes load their main library regardless of version or setup,
as discussed in issue 162:
<https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/162>.
The themes are already in Emacs, but we have to use a new function for
things to work as intended with the new version of the files (check the
Emacs source code for the technicalities of 'require-theme').
This is in preparation of the imminent release of version 1.2.0.
Minor tweaks to the manual to ensure that the right instructions are
provided for those who install the themes manually or will be using the
version that is shipped with Emacs.
* modus-operandi-theme.el (modus-themes, require): Just require
'modus-themes is enough. No need for eval-and-compile.
* modus-vivendi-theme.el (modus-themes, require): Same.
Evaluate this:
(info "(elisp) Compiling Macros")
Byte-compiling a file also executes any ‘require’ calls at top-level
in the file, so you can ensure that necessary macro definitions are
available during compilation by requiring the files that define
them (*note Named Features::). To avoid loading the macro
definition files when someone _runs_ the compiled program, write
‘eval-when-compile’ around the ‘require’ calls (*note Eval During
Compile::).
