Then could you please make it understandable to other people too by properly documenting some mysteries? For instance, take custom-save-variables. We see: (custom-save-delete 'custom-load-themes) (custom-save-delete 'custom-reset-variables) (custom-save-delete 'custom-set-variables) (custom-save-loaded-themes) (custom-save-resets 'theme-value 'custom-reset-variables nil) I understand the third line. What about the other four? What business does the Themes code have writing into a user's Custom file? All info about themes in supposed to be contained in separate Themes files. Nothing I see documented about themes requires Themes to do _anything_ when variables or faces are saved. Sincerely, Luc.
