Issues With Trying To Create My Own Theme For Emacs

Issues With Trying To Create My Own Theme For Emacs

Hey there,

So I have been trying to create my own theme for Emacs, and have a ton of ideas for more of them.

However, when I try to load it with 'M-x load-theme' and specify the name of the theme, aka 'Morrowind Menu Theme', I get the following error:
helm-M-x-execute-command: Symbol’s value as variable is void: Menu
Updating buffer list...
Formats have changed, recompiling...done
Updating buffer list...done

I am attaching the theme I am currently working on right now.

With this in mind, I have 3 questions:
Q1. How do I fix this issue / is this an issue with Helm itself not being catered towards the theme I made?

Q2. How could I make this theme be compatible with Helm itself and 'Spacemodeline'?

Q3. How could I load this theme via my existing Emacs config with a direct command instead of having to use 'M-x load-theme'

Thanks :)

Sam

I'm not sure you can have spaces in the name of the theme.  Try
"Morrowind-Menu-Theme" maybe?

You can have spaces but you have to escape them:
Morrowind\ Menu\ Theme

Cf. (info "(elisp) Symbol Type"):

   A symbol name can contain any characters whatever.  Most symbol names
  are written with letters, digits, and the punctuation characters
  ‘-+=*/’.  Such names require no special punctuation; the characters of
  the name suffice as long as the name does not look like a number.  (If
  it does, write a ‘\’ at the beginning of the name to force
  interpretation as a symbol.)  The characters ‘_~!@$%^&:<>{}?’ are less
  often used but also require no special punctuation.  Any other
  characters may be included in a symbol’s name by escaping them with a
  backslash.

Indeed and thank you but my basic suggestion still applies: the problem
is how the OP has named the theme.

Thanks guys, I'll give that a shot to just rename the theme, probably dumb mistake on my part.
