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

71 Based on theme made by the emacswiki user, ZWZ. The original theme can
72 be found [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/zwz][here]]. Suvayu has also made some org-mode font modifications
73 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
74 [[http://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/init.el][init.el]] gives more information on how to use his customizations.
76 /NB:/ This theme is not maintained anymore, and won't work with the
77 trunk version of Emacs 24.1. Emacs 24.1 removes support for the
78 deprecated 3rd argument form for =face-spec-set=. This breaks the
79 =color-theme= package in general; so instead of waiting for it to be
80 fixed, ~dark-emacs~ is now available as an Emacs 24 custom theme. The
81 latest version can be found [[http://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/themes/dark-emacs-theme.el][here]].

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