Hi Tyler,
Thank you for the explanations. I well understood what you mean and I
agree. But I did not success to apply your approach. I disable
hl-line-mode with the command with (global-hl-line-mode nil) but M-x
describe-face doesn't work. Searching on the net, I found the commande
C-u C-x = and I was able to put the red color for << >>= which is a
good beginning. But the @ becomes red also, and I would like to put it
in another color. I will investigate to understand how the face
customization works. Thank you for the pointer.

Hi,
I use cyberpunk, which is pretty usable as-is.
However, more important, I think, than the actual theme you use, is being able
to tweak the styling of individual faces. Once you pick a theme that is
reasonably close to what you want, if there are bits that you don't like, you
can easily change them. Put the cursor over the offending characters, and call
the function `M-x describe-face`. You'll be prompted for the face you want to
see, and the default is the face of the character under point[1] (the cursor).
The window that opens includes a link to `customize this face` at the top.
Click that, and you'll get the interface for changing the style. The next
window that opens will show any styles that are applied to the face in
question. You can change that to whatever you like, and apply it to the current
session with `C-c C-c`. To save it permanently, type `C-c C-s`. Note that you
don't see all the possible attributes by default, only the ones that have been
changed. To see the other options, click the `show all attributes` button.
Even with good themes, I find there are differences among displays (i.e., my
laptop screen and my monitor) that benefit from adjusting a few of the colour
choices.
Good luck!
Tyler
[1] Note that if you use `hl-line-mode`, you should turn it off before doing
this, otherwise that's the face you'll be offered. If you don't use
`hl-line-mode`, ignore this.
