color-theme in emacs 24

color-theme in emacs 24

[MelloBob]

Is there a way to save the current color-theme (accessed via M-x load-theme), not the older color-theme stuff. The only way I've found is to manually edit my .emacs file and add the line:
 
  (load-theme 'theme-name t)

Works fine ... until you really can't recall which theme you selected :)

Try M-x customize-color-theme. Maybe you will find it listed there.

Not sure what you're asking.  But `load-theme' has nothing
to do with color themes - `load-theme' is about custom themes.

It's unfortunate that when Emacs added themes it used the
same word ("theme") that had already been used for color
themes, as it has led to a fair amount of confusion.  At
least Emacs didn't try to call custom themes "color themes".

See https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColorThemes and

In my emacs, 24.5.1, installed by Ubuntu that command doesn't seem to exist.

The older I get the more confused I get (not only about emacs :) ).

But I'm just trying to set this in my .emacs file without having to manually edit that file. I've gone back to using color-theme and have "discovered" that the names to use in the final line of:

  
(require 'color-theme)
    (color-theme-initialize)
    (color-theme-feni)

can be derived from M-x color-theme- <tab>. Trying to do this from color-theme-select gives the "English" names of the themes ... but they can't be used in the above .emacs commands.
