As we discussed a while back, in a thread something like "themes broken as designed", themes are far from consistent about the faces they change. After using one theme, the next them may or may not replace all the changes it has made. As far as I know, restarting Emacs is your only choice. > And how do I get the default theme back please? Don't know. I suppose removing any theme change from you .emacs and restart. -- Dan Espen
