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

I am not sure what causes the behaviour you see but I can say that I use
the following sequence to set the particular colour theme I want:
(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-blue-sea)
The second line makes all the colour themes available and you can see
them all by M-x color-theme TAB.

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

Daniel,
What version of emacs are you on?
color-theme is a very old style of setting themes. I believe load-theme
will not work for color themes.

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.
