How to make both of them work?

[moyotar]

I want to make both of molokai-theme-kit(a mode-line theme) and nyan work. How to do this?

[TeMPOraL]

I assume you mean https://github.com/hbin/molokai-theme/.

Try adding

(list '(:eval (list (nyan-create))))

somewhere in the molokai-theme-kit.el in between other stuff set in the mode line. Of course ensure nyan-mode is loaded before molokai-theme-kit.el.

I followed it and got errors.

Try just:

(:eval (list (nyan-create)))

Or better yet, post the whole code that you use to change mode-line-format.

eval-buffer: Wrong type argument: symbolp, (:eval (list (nyan-create)))

This try failed again. And this is the whole code in molokai-theme-kit.el.

You're putting it in a wrong place. Try putting it after " --", on the same list level.

Thanks! It works.
