# Batppuccin: My Take on Catppuccin for Emacs

**[Bozhidar Batsov](https://daily.dev/sources/batsov)** · 6 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Bozhidar Batsov, maintainer of popular Emacs themes like Zenburn and Solarized, introduces Batppuccin — his own Catppuccin port for Emacs. Unlike the official port, Batppuccin registers four separate themes (mocha, macchiato, frappe, latte) that work natively with load-theme, follows the Catppuccin style guide more faithfully (correct colors for keywords, strings, functions, rainbow org-mode headings), and covers a broad set of faces including magit, vertico, corfu, flycheck, cider, and more. The post explains the architectural and visual shortcomings of the official port and how Batppuccin addresses them, with installation instructions via use-package.
