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. > P.S.

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'e= d[1] my .emacs file, thanks to Org Babel: now, I can put a lot of comments outsi= de of my .emacs file, and quickly access what I need to read or update with Or= g'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= =C2=A0;-) Best regards, Seb Footnotes: [1] Literate Programming (=C3=A0 la NoWeb) --=20 Sebastien Vauban
