To define a Custom theme, use the command @kbd{M-x
customize-create-theme}, which brings up a buffer named @samp{*New
Custom Theme*}. At the top of the buffer is an editable field where
you can specify the name of the theme. To add a customization option
to the theme, click on the @samp{INS} button to open up a field where
you can insert the name of the option. The current value of that
option is applied to the theme. After adding as many options as you
like, click on @samp{Done} to save the Custom theme.
you can specify the name of the theme. Click on the button labelled
@samp{Insert Variable} to add a variable to the theme, and click on
@samp{Insert Face} to add a face. You can edit these values in the
@samp{*New Custom Theme*} buffer like in an ordinary Customize buffer.
To remove an option from the theme, click on its @samp{State} button
and select @samp{Delete}.
@vindex custom-theme-directory
Saving a Custom theme named @var{foo} writes its definition into the
file @file{@var{foo}-theme.el}, in the directory @file{~/.emacs.d/}
(you can specify the directory by setting
@code{custom-theme-directory}).
After adding the desired options, click on @samp{Save Theme} to save
the Custom theme. This writes the theme definition to a file
@file{@var{foo}-theme.el} (where @var{foo} is the theme name you
supplied), in the directory @file{~/.emacs.d/}. You can specify the
directory by setting @code{custom-theme-directory}.
You can view and edit the settings of a previously-defined theme by
clicking on @samp{Visit Theme} and specifying the theme name. You can
also import the variables and faces that you have set using Customize
by visiting the ``special'' theme named @var{user}. This theme, which
records all the options that you set in the ordinary customization
buffer, is always enabled, and always takes precedence over all other
enabled Custom themes. Additionally, the @samp{user} theme is
recorded in your @file{.emacs} file, rather than a
@file{user-theme.el} file.
@vindex custom-enabled-themes
Once you have defined a Custom theme, you can use it by customizing
the variable @code{custom-enabled-themes}. This is a list of Custom
themes that are @dfn{enabled}, or put into effect. If you set
@code{custom-enabled-themes} using the Customize interface, the theme
definitions are automatically loaded from the theme files, if they
aren't already. If you save the value of @code{custom-enabled-themes}
for future Emacs sessions, those Custom themes will be enabled
whenever Emacs is started up.
If two enabled themes specify different values for an option, the
theme occurring earlier in @code{custom-enabled-themes} takes effect.
@findex load-theme
@findex enable-theme
@findex disable-theme
You can load the themes you've previously defined with the command
@code{load-theme}. It prompts for a theme name in the minibuffer, and
loads that theme from the theme file. It also @dfn{enables} the
theme, which means putting its settings into effect. An enabled theme
You can also enable a Custom theme with @kbd{M-x enable-theme}.
This prompts for a theme name in the minibuffer, loads the theme from
the theme file if necessary, and enables the theme. An enabled theme
can be @dfn{disabled} with the command @kbd{M-x disable-theme}; this
returns the options specified in the theme to their original values.
To re-enable the theme, use the command @kbd{M-x enable-theme}.
To enable a Custom theme named @var{foo} whenever Emacs is started up,
add the line @code{(load-theme '@var{foo})} to your @file{.emacs} file
(@pxref{Init File}).
Enabling a custom theme does not disable the themes already enabled;
instead, they are all enabled together. If two enabled Custom themes
specify different values for an option, the last theme to be enabled
takes effect.
The options that you set in the ordinary customization buffer
(@pxref{Easy Customization}) are also considered part of a Custom
theme, called @samp{user}. The @samp{user} theme is always enabled,
and always takes precedence over all other enabled Custom themes.
Additionally, the @samp{user} theme is recorded in your @file{.emacs}
file, rather than a @file{user-theme.el} file.
To re-enable the theme, call @kbd{M-x enable-theme} again. If a theme
file is changed during your Emacs session, you can reload it by
calling @kbd{M-x load-theme}. This also enables the theme.
