enter image description hereI am trying to change my emacs theme to spacegray because my current one is not the most appealing but when i to M-x load-theme spacegray the theme only loads on the line numbers, and when i reload emacs with c-x c-c the previous theme comes back again.

  • What do you mean by line numbers and could you please provide a screenshot? – David Gomes Dec 10 '14 at 19:24
  • Edited with the screenshot this is what happens when i load the theme and after i reset emacs it goes back to my previous theme – Tiago Botelho Dec 10 '14 at 19:27

    Have you tried running M-x disable-theme ? – Trevoke Dec 10 '14 at 19:34
  • It's not recognising the theme when i try to disable it have several themes to load none of theme are recognised when i type (load-theme 'solarized-dark t) in init.el it gives me the error: "error: Unable to find theme file for `solarized-dark'" – Tiago Botelho Dec 10 '14 at 19:44
  • Please provide a list of all your installed packages. Use package-list-packages (and go down to the bottom) to get this. – David Gomes Dec 10 '14 at 20:09

    If you have already loaded one theme and you want to replace it, you need to disable the one already loaded. That's what @Trevoke was, I think, trying to get at. – Drew Dec 10 '14 at 20:53

    Please share the parts of your .emacs that involve loading or requireing anything theme related (the theme in question looks like Solarized I think). If you have a separate file for your custom-set-variables, then share anything there concerning themes. – Jonathan Leech-Pepin Jan 09 '15 at 20:04

I had a similar problem, and here's how I fixed it:

I opened my init.el file and commented the last line of code:

'(default ((((class color) (min-colors 4096)) (:foreground "#5f5f5f" :background "#fdfde7")) (((class color) (min-colors 256)) (:foreground "#5f5f5f" :background "#fdfde7")) (((class color) (min-colors 89)) (:foreground "#5f5f5f" :background "#fdfde7")))))

and add the following code:

'(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 120 :width normal :foundry "apple" :family "Menlo")))))

Restart Emacs, and you should be able to change theme.

    Not a great answer, IMO. (1) You don't show the context for that "last line" of your init file. (2) I'm guessing that the context is custom-set-faces. If so, the comment preceding it warns you explicitly not to edit it directly, but to change it using Customize. (3) You don't explain what your answer tries to do, or why. – Drew Feb 01 '16 at 16:27
