I have a third question that I'd also like help with regarding this theme.

It would appear that when I load my custom theme (above) with

  (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path (concat user-emacs-directory "lisp"))
  (load-theme 'Darkula t)

not everything is set correctly. In particular (as one example), the font-lock-builtin-face (used extensively in the theme file itself) is not picking up the foreground defined in my theme.

However, if I open up the theme file and do a `C-x C-e` on the `custom-theme-set-faces` block, the theme works perfectly as intended as is evident by the colours in that file changing immediately.

Am I doing something wrong or missing something out?
