I believe that the documentation I wrote is correct. However, the problems that remain after my patches were somewhat overstated in my original patch. I propose to apply my patch with this original paragraph: ;; *Please note*: this feature is experimental and needs more work. ;; In Emacs 22, it does not work very well, unless you do only very ;; basic things. It is expected to work better in future Emacs versions. ;; In situations where `require-theme' does not seem to work, you can ;; just directly load this theme file to get the intended results.\n\n" replaced with this: ;; *Please note*: this feature is experimental and needs more work. ;; In Emacs 22, everything should work fine if you only add and never ;; remove themes. But removing themes only works seamlessly in very ;; basic situations. In more complex usage, it may not work as expected. ;; For instance, after removing themes, `require-theme' might not produce ;; the expected results for themes that have already been added before. ;; In such situations, you can just directly load the theme file to get ;; the intended results.\n\n" Sincerely, Luc.
