Re: [O] Color theme loading on startup
Daniel, I reread your answer. Looks like to are using the theme package cyberpunk ( https://github.com/n3mo/cyberpunk-theme.el ) which is compatible with load-theme. I got confused because you used the phrase color theme. Contrary to what the install instructions say in that theme package's README page, one should not set the `custom-theme-load-path` variable WHEN you install the package using the emacs package manager (package.el) and initialize the packages using `package-initialize`. If you have set that variable using Customize, erase it using the Customize interface. Then `(load-theme 'cyberpunk t nil)` will work. Check out the below emacs.SE for more detail. http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/2113/115 -- Kaushal Modi On Jul 9, 2015 6:23 AM, Kaushal kaushal.m...@gmail.com wrote: Daniel, What version of emacs are you on? color-theme is a very old style of setting themes.

That should work. Unfortunately it doesn’t. It has the same effect as without the „t nil“, background color is not applied. Daniel

[O] Color theme loading on startup
Hi guys, quick question, as I don’t really see any root cause for this: Whenever I try to load a color theme directly from .emacs using load-theme, e.g. (load-theme 'cyberpunk) even if I put this line to the end of the .emacs file, the background color of the theme is overridden by something and not applied to the look of Emacs. If I load the same theme while Emacs is running using M-x load-theme RET cyberpunk RET it looks good. However, using this method I cannot persist the choice across sessions. Any ideas what the reason could be? Also, there is M-x color-theme-select which lists different themes than load-theme. Is this method better? How to load such themes through .emacs correctly? E.g. I like the theme „Deep Blue“ listed there, but putting (color-theme-select ‚deep_blue) into the .emacs file doesn’t have any effect. However, I don’t know if that’s the correct lisp-compatible name of the theme. How to know what it is? And where are new themes for this method installed to? As far as I understood, both methods take different format theme files? Thanks! Daniel
