load color-theme when start emacs

load color-theme when start emacs

[Pedro Costa]

Hi,

I would like to load a color-theme when I start emacs in X11. I've put
this in .emacs, but it won't work.

[code]
(require 'color-theme)
if(window-system
   (setq color-theme-is-global t)
   (color-theme-midnight))
[/code]

How can I load this theme when I start emacs?

I don't use color-theme, but I believe this is what you mean:

(require 'color-theme)
(when window-system
  (setq color-theme-is-global t)
  (color-theme-midnight))

I have

;; color-theme
(when window-system
  (require 'color-theme)
  (color-theme-initialize)
  (setq color-theme-is-global t)
  (color-theme-deep-blue))
;; /color-theme
at the very end of my .emacs file. Without the initialization the them names like color-theme-deep-blue are unknown.
