color theme in windows emacs

color theme in windows emacs

[renwei]

Hi, i am using emacs 21.3 on a windows xp system. I installed the color
theme package (which is color-theme.el) and it doesn't seem to be
working completely. once i have selected a theme, the background,
scrolls and cursors all change color, but all my of text is always of
the same color - i tested it on .java files and .tex files, and i was
expecting to see my keywords being highlighted in different colors--
but it's not working.
what did I do wrong? thanks for the help in advance.

The color theme changes will only apply to those font faces that are
defined in the theme itself. I'm using the package on Windows XP
(Emacs 22.0.50.2) with no problems, except that the main frame resized
on invoking a different color theme.

One thing you can do is to define the face foreground colors manually,
then call the function 'color-theme-print'. It will create a buffer
with all of the colors and font faces you are currently using. Rename
the theme from my_colo_theme to something more suitable (within the
file contents as well), and then try loading it.

If you would like, I can send you the theme I'm currently using, which
does have support for java highlighting among a bunch of other modes.
