After installing Color Theme, you can pick and choose from a menu. If the colors seem to get reset (such as background color changing to white on startup or when creating a new frame), consider checking ColorsAndKde.Ĭhoosing a color theme by name is only convenient if you already know what color scheme a given name represents. Use `?’ in the Color Theme Selection buffer to find the name of the appropriate color theme function. If you like putting globals in default.el and local customizations in your InitFile then add the ‘require’ to default.el and use this in your InitFile: ( eval-after-load "color-theme" '(color-theme-robin-hood)) If it doesn’t seem to work, try adding one more line: ( require ' color-theme) Put the appropriate code in your InitFile: ( require ' color-theme) The easiest way is to install a chosen color theme is to require the file and call the appropriate color theme function. It creates the Color Theme Selection buffer that allows you to test the themes before choosing one. The main function to use is ‘color-theme-select’. Put the file color-theme.el and the folder themes (with the files color-theme-example.el and color-theme-library.el) in a directory on your LoadPath.

See the color-theme web page at for how to get started with color-theme.el. Custom themes that have been based on some color themes can be found here. Vanilla Emacs CustomThemes are similar to color themes, but they do not replace color themes – each approach has its advantages. If you are going to write your own theme, you might therefore prefer to write a custom theme instead of a color theme.

If you look at the themes provided via ELPA and MELPA, you’ll see that they all implemented using custom themes, not color themes.
