+# rainbow-blocks-bg.el
+
+rainbow-blocks-bg is an Emacs mode that highlights the background of code blocks delimited by
+parenthesis, brackets, or braces.  The highlight color is determined by the blocks nesting level.
+
+This package is a fork of the
+[rainbow-blocks.el](https://github.com/istib/rainbow-blocks) package
+and only applies minor patches such that the background is highlighted
+rather than the foreground text.
+
+This was just a quick hack. I'm not sure if this will be that useful
+but I thought it was cool.

+## Basic Installation
+
+I'm not sure if I'll add this to MELPA but for now download the ```rainbow-blocks-bg.el``` file into your ```.emacs.d``` directory or wherever you keep external libraries.  Then add this to your init file.
