Hi all,
I have sets of face customization that I've just converted into custom
themes. I really like the idea of theming emacs conveniently, and the
initial conversion worked flawlessly. Thanks a lot, Chong!
Basically, my themes are one theme with a light and a dark incarnation,
stepwise adjusted over the time and wrt. the emacs stuff I use (I have
to switch between light and dark colors every now and then to not get
bored).
I think that the themes are somewhat nice and maybe others like them,
too, so I consider putting them in etc/themes. Would that be ok?
OTOH, users might want that themes are more or less fixed, i.e., themes
don't change a face over the time, but only evolve by extension (include
more faces).
So how about adding specially named themes
dev-<username>-[<themename>-]theme.el,
which are themes people contributing to Emacs are using at that point of
time? I think it would be fun to try out
dev-rms-theme.el ;; the empty/nil theme using less than 2 colors
dev-acm-theme.el ;; angry fruit salad
and so forth. ;-)
WDYT,
Tassilo

Yes, please go ahead.
At some point, we will have to figure out which themes to include,
choosing from the full custom themes that people have offered and the
"mini themes" submitted to http://elpa.gnu.org/themes/view.html. In the
meantime, it's OK to put the former in our Bzr repository.

Agreed; I would welcome this.

Ok, then I'll do that in a minute.
BTW: I still haven't figured out how to customize a face in a (currently
loaded) theme. Now I use customize-face, and copy the resulting face
spec from `custom-set-faces' to the right `custom-theme-set-faces', but
there must be a better way of doing that, right?
Bye,
Tassilo
