39 A popular way of customizing Emacs colours is to use the color-theme
40 package (see [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColorTheme][color-theme emacswiki page]].)
42 Here is a list of color themes that are aware of Org: You can see
43 screen shots of these themes [[file:./color-themes-screenshot.org][here]]. Once you have installed a theme it
44 is easy to tweak its appearance by editing the theme's lisp file.
46 Some of these themes are available in Worg in the color-themes
47 directory, whilst others are linked either to the author's site, or to
50 There is a page with screenshots of each of the themes [[file:color-themes-screenshot.org][here]] .

75 Based on theme made by the emacswiki user, ZWZ. The original theme can
76 be found [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/zwz][here]]. Suvayu has also made some org-mode font modifications
77 outside of the colour theme, which can be obtained [[http://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/org-mode-settings.el][here]]. Suvayu's
78 [[http://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/init.el][init.el]] gives more information on how to use his customizations.
80 /NB:/ This theme is not maintained anymore, and won't work with the
81 trunk version of Emacs 24.1. Emacs 24.1 removes support for the
82 deprecated 3rd argument form for =face-spec-set=. This breaks the
83 =color-theme= package in general; so instead of waiting for it to be
84 fixed, ~dark-emacs~ is now available as an Emacs 24 custom theme. The
85 latest version can be found [[http://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/themes/dark-emacs-theme.el][here]].

88 Cyberpunk color theme for the emacs 24+ built-in color theme support
89 known loosely as deftheme. The theme is mostly a direct port of the
90 overtone/emacs-live theme of the same name (designed originally for
91 the color-theme package). Many mode-specific customizations,
92 particularly with respect to org-mode, have also been added.
94 ** Installing Org Colour Themes.
95 First make sure that you have the Emacs color-theme package
96 installed. Copy the lisp files for the themes into a directory in your
99 If you want to be able to easily cycle between different
100 colour schemes, you need something like the following in your .emacs:
102 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
103 (require 'color-theme)
104 (setq color-theme-is-global t)
105 (color-theme-initialize)
107 (load "color-theme-colorful-obsolescence")
108 (load "color-theme-zenburn")
109 (load "color-theme-tangotango")
110 (load "color-theme-railscast")
111 (load "color-theme-leuven")
112 (load "color-theme-folio")
113 (load "color-theme-zenash")
114 (load "color-theme-manoj")
116 (setq my-color-themes (list
117 'color-theme-tangotango
118 'color-theme-colorful-obsolescence 'color-theme-zenburn
119 'color-theme-leuven 'color-theme-folio
120 'color-theme-manoj 'color-theme-zenash
121 'color-theme-railscast
124 (defun my-theme-set-default () ; Set the first row
126 (setq theme-current my-color-themes)
127 (funcall (car theme-current)))
129 (defun my-describe-theme () ; Show the current theme
131 (message "%s" (car theme-current)))
133 ; Set the next theme (fixed by Chris Webber - tanks)
134 (defun my-theme-cycle ()
136 (setq theme-current (cdr theme-current))
137 (if (null theme-current)
138 (setq theme-current my-color-themes))
139 (funcall (car theme-current))
140 (message "%S" (car theme-current)))
142 (setq theme-current my-color-themes)
143 (setq color-theme-is-global nil) ; Initialization
144 (my-theme-set-default)
145 (global-set-key [f4] 'my-theme-cycle)
149 Now you can cycle through the installed themes using the F4 key.
