Spacemacs faces

[mkaito]

There's a bunch of spacemacs faces that we could define. They really only stick out in base16-grayscale because everything else is... well... grayscale. Here's a picture to show what I mean:

These apply to the cursor and spaceline. It actually overrides the spaceline colours, since spacemacs defines more evil states.

I have some of the states (for cursors and what not) in the README, but it would be great if that could be formalized in the theme.

I usually just deactivate cursor colouring. Then again, I use base16-grayscale, so what do I know about aesthetics...

We'd have to figure out why those can't be set in a theme, fix it, and offer a PR.

The colours in the screenshot apply to the powerline, though.

also, there's list-faces-display and there are a number of spacemacs ones we don't touch.

I've been looking into changing the cursor color and it's really annoying. It turns out that (as far as I can tell) spacemacs actually nukes the theme colors in many instances with the colors that are set for the cursor colors... I'd personally prefer the other way around, but that would most likely be a breaking change and might not be realistic...

If someone is looking for a workaround, this is what I have in my dotemacs.
