The adwaita-theme only has 70 lines of face settings. I have 94 and I didn't even know the concept of theme until now... But when I load-file my faces from the state of a previous built-in theme, there are remnants of the old order so my "theme" is nonetheless incomplete, it seems. > Custom themes use the `deftheme'-macro to create > themes and are, as you stated, "just a list of > faces". Have a whack at M-x > `customize-create-theme'. OK. There was a guy on this list - Jambunathan K - who was in contact with another guy who did Emacs "suites" with skeletons of Emacs configuration to appeal to/offer a head start to certain personalities and expected usage (as in bright-on-black, programming, Gnus, and so on) - I don't know what happened to them and that project, or if they even included faces, but they should as Gnus for example is dead boring without some makeup. -- underground experts united
