Theme is being constantly overriden somehow..

[Ramblurr]

This is strange, but the default tomorrow theme is like a zombie, I can't kill it.

Reproduction:

1. Clone sample config:

   git clone https://github.com/lambdaisland/corgi /tmp/corgi
   cp -r /tmp/corgi/sample-config ~/.emacs.corgi

2. Edit ~/.emacs.corg/init.el, and Replace these lines with:

   
   (use-package kanagawa-themes
     :ensure t
     :config
     (load-theme 'kanagawa-wave t))

3. Open emacs: emacs --init-directory ~/.emacs.corgi

4. Wait awhile for everything to clone and build

Result:

• The resulting emacs frame is using the tomorrow theme
• There are a bunch of compile warnings (attached) but none seem exactly relevant? warn.log

• If I run M-x customize-themes I see

  Type RET or click to enable/disable listed custom themes.
  Type K to describe the theme at point.
  Theme files are named *-theme.el in ‘custom-theme-load-path’.
  
   Note: Your custom settings take precedence over theme settings.
         To migrate your settings into a theme, click here.
  
   Save Theme Settings 
  [X] Select more than one theme at a time
  
  Available Custom Themes:
  [ ] kanagawa-dragon -- (no documentation available)
  [ ] kanagawa-lotus -- (no documentation available)
  [X] kanagawa-wave -- The Kanagawa wave theme
  [ ] sanityinc-tomorrow-blue -- (no documentation available)
  [X] sanityinc-tomorrow-bright -- A version of Chris Kempson's 'Tomorrow' theme (bright version)
  [ ] sanityinc-tomorrow-day -- (no documentation available)
  [ ] sanityinc-tomorrow-eighties -- (no documentation available)
  [ ] sanityinc-tomorrow-night -- (no documentation available)
  ... snip....

  • and if I manually uncheck sanityinc-tomorrow-bright then everything is ok, the kanagawa theme appears.
  • even if I save the settings, when I restart emacs the sanityinc-tomorrow-bright is loaded again.
• If I manually eval my init.el buffer, then the theme switches to kanagawa-wave right away

FWIW I am using GNU Emacs 29.4 on NixOS

Ugh ok, sorry for the noise. I just purged all emacs config on my system, and also reinstalled emacs from scratch, and it is working now. I suspect there was some sort of caching going on.
