Mostly a crude note to myself so I remember--this is just something I started trying and haven't commited to memory or .emacs yet. Expect updates (post a comment to get an email I think, or remember to check back).
HOWTO:
Mode help says:
(use M-x describe-mode, or ^H m)
Color Themes mode:
Major mode to select and install color themes.
Use I to install a color theme on all frames.
Use L to install a color theme for the current frame only.
'L' is a useful way to have different colors
in a different frame,
to either try out,
or keep separate windows for separate tasks.
The changes are applied on top of your current setup. This is a
feature.
Feature 'on top of' means that
each theme only affects a subset of all possible settings
(may be fonts, colors, certain modes, etc.),
so order of application will make a difference.
If you worry about the size of color-theme.el: You are right. Use
P to print the current color theme and save the resulting buffer
for example, 678 lines
I (usually) prefer light text / dark background. I haven't spent any time tuning or tweaking yet, there are many existing themes to try first.
Theme notes:
- Arjen - ok, but echo area unreadable
- Bharadwaj - looks like default ?
- Blue Sea - nice purple
- Cooper Dark - trying (7/24)
Couple links, form searching "aquamacs select color theme":
Somewhere my previous setting from M-x customize for modeline color/font.. where was that saved? what's it called?
and what are these desktop commands? I found a emacs.desktop file:
Click on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:
desktop-change-dir desktop-clear
desktop-read desktop-remove
desktop-revert desktop-save
desktop-save-in-desktop-dir
desktop-save-mode
... to be continued..

Hi!
ReplyDeleteConcerning 'desktop-menu.el':
;;; Commentary:
;; This package provides a *Desktop Menu* for managing multiple Emacs
;; desktops, possibly in a single directory.
;;
;; Start the menu with `M-x desktop-menu RET'.
;;
;; Press `?' for help in the Desktop Menu.
;; Olaf speaketh:
;;
;; Why a Desktop Menu?
;; The Emacs package `desktop' is a really nice menu for saving and
;; reading various Emacs desktops in different directories.
;; But often I have the problems:
;; - I want to save various Emacs desktops in the same directory and
;; - I lost the overview for directories with a Emacs desktop.
;; So I've developed a menu which handles various Emacs desktops
;; in one directory and I can give each desktop a nice name.

Thanks.. I had totally forgot I even mentioned desktop there.
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be a better overview:
Loading a Desktop Saved from a Previous Session at Startup
It looks like it could be useful.. I usually only start emacs once per session, and don't exit until I need to logout or reboot--which generally lasts a week or two.
