I really like the idea of theming emacs conveniently, and the initial conversion worked flawlessly. Thanks a lot, Chong! Basically, my themes are one theme with a light and a dark incarnation, stepwise adjusted over the time and wrt. the emacs stuff I use (I have to switch between light and dark colors every now and then to not get bored). I think that the themes are somewhat nice and maybe others like them, too, so I consider putting them in etc/themes. Would that be ok? OTOH, users might want that themes are more or less fixed, i.e., themes don't change a face over the time, but only evolve by extension (include more faces). So how about adding specially named themes dev--[-]theme.el, which are themes people contributing to Emacs are using at that point of time? I think it would be fun to try out dev-rms-theme.el ;; the empty/nil theme using less than 2 colors dev-acm-theme.el ;; angry fruit salad and so forth. ;-) WDYT, Tassilo
