Here's the current state of my color-theme for org-mode. If you don't like
white on black you will probably hate this theme. It is very colorful, so it
actually looks better in a partially transparent window because it fades a
little. It's no where near a final state.

My goal with this color-theme was to get almost the same look on a terminal
and in "graphical" emacs. I customize my 16 colors or so in Putty and then
use generic red, blue etc in my custom-set-faces for console, and then I
have specific colors set in my color-theme for the rare occasion that I run
graphical emacs.

few months old so some faces have changed)

(require 'color-theme-colorful-deluge)
(color-theme-colorful-deluge)

I've only customized font-lock, org, eshell and ido. I just noticed that
calendar has fancy colors in graphical emacs so I'll probably customize
that.

What I'd really love is a nice black on white theme that uses different
fonts and sizes to give an elegant outline that looks more like a
typesetters masterpiece than a hackers playground.

Cheers,
Scott
