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.
