Yep, that's what I meant.

Not really a problem. This is quite short, the following being what I need to
enable my own color theme:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; avoid Emacs hanging for a while changing default font
(modify-frame-parameters nil '((wait-for-wm . nil)))
;; the real color theme functions
(when (require 'color-theme-autoloads)
;; initialize the color theme package
(if (fboundp 'color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-initialize))
;; color themes will be installed for all frames
(setq color-theme-is-global t)
;; set my default color theme
(when (try-require 'color-theme-leuven)
(color-theme-leuven)))
#+end_src
And it simply allows you to decide on every face you want to customize for
yourself.

I know the feeling. I'm using Emacs since 1999, and now have 10,998 lines in
my .emacs file. Though, every line being commented, and having a blank line
between each customization, that represent more or less 3,400 real lines.
That said, it's huge. But it now becomes much more feasible since I've LP'ed[1]
my .emacs file, thanks to Org Babel: now, I can put a lot of comments outside
of my .emacs file, and quickly access what I need to read or update with Org's
sparse trees (`C-c / /').
It is even easy to not tangle parts of Emacs custom, for debug needs, for
example. Or get a nicely printed HTML output. Or... just name it, I can go on
with advantages of using both Emacs and Org-mode, even heavily customized ;-)
Best regards,
Seb
