What is the right way for creating theme for emacs? just an fyi, I would give a word of caution here : faces are or can be very hairy places to be especially for someone new to emacs;) There are quite a few themes available with the color-theme package - subtle-hacker ( I think it is) was nice for me, but recently I dumped that color-theme sw completely and now use the excellent naquadah-theme which can show you what to do if you want to make your own:- http://git.naquadah.org/?p=naquadah-theme.git;a=summary At the very least this will give you some idea of the scale of the task! Best of luck regards r.
