How to override or stop circadian?

[infinitebuffalo]

I set up and initialized Circadian as suggested, but then decided I wanted for the moment to use a different theme. However, circadian doesn't allow the theme to be reset -- it's not that attempting to set the theme fails exactly, but after load-theme completes, circadian changes it back.

I don't even seem to be able to figure out how to turn off circadian so I can set a different theme, temporarily or permanently. Even uninstalling the package doesn't seem to kill it--or allow me to change themes....

So,

1. How does one override or pause circadian so you can change to a different theme temporarily?
2. How does one stop or disable circadian? Once started, does it just run without end until emacs itself is terminated or restarted?

• You should re-read about how to change themes in Emacs
• You should read and learn about how to use, install and uninstall Emacs packages and how to enable and disable them in your init.el. Try to use a package manager like use-package.el or straight.el, which will give you simpler possibilties to disable packages, e.g. the :disabled feature of use-package.
• Try M-x load-theme or M-x counsel-load-theme (if you use counsel). Oou should be able to select another theme to overwrite themes set by circadian. If this doesn't work, there must be something very wrong in your configuration file.
