First, I don't understand, moe-theme
is just written for > 24.3 and just using built-in deftheme
you've said. Why cannot be loaded by load-theme
or something like?
As regards why moe-theme.el
exists, instead of only moe-light-theme.el
&moe-dark-theme.el
...
The file moe-theme.el
is just used for customization options, you still can load & use moe-light/dark-theme.el
themselves (though, without customizations).
In fact, I've surely ever tried to do those options machinery withing themselves file (ligth&dark), but they just cannot be loaded and applied successfully. (Don't ask me why, I also want to know the reason. I've ever ask the community for this question but didn't get answer. After all, I guess it may be for security reasons that load-theme
won't merely eval
or load-file
the themes files...)
I don't know if this problem has fixed in 24.4. Currently I cannot and have no time try it.
I've done some additional digging and I think it's not the deftheme machinery (which I'd missed having only looked at moe-theme.el) but the autoloads. I think if you add:
;;;###autoload
(when load-file-name
(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path
(file-name-as-directory (file-name-directory load-file-name))))
This will ensure that custome-theme-load-path is updated and then moe-theme can be loaded on demand from theme choosers like helm-themes.
I see the autoload was added to try and fix #31 which I don't think it did.
I also see the same.
After installing moe-theme
, and doing M-x load-theme RET TAB
moe-theme
does not show up in the completion list, in no variants (dark or light).
Installing, for example, color-theme-sanityinc-tomorrow, and doing the same (M-x load-theme RET TAB
) one can see the various variants offered by that theme.
I am not sure if related, but I have also noticed that moe-theme
takes quite a bit of time loading, more than double than other similarly complex themes.
Try profiling with esup.
moe-theme
takes, on my machine, about 600ms, while, for example, the aforementioned color-theme-sanityinc-tomorrow
just 200ms.
Using use-package
, my total load time (with about 150 packages) is about 2s, of which 1/8 is moe-theme
.
I need to restart Emacs often, for developing reasons. Becasue of that, unfortunately I had to stop using moe-theme
for now, although it has been my favourite since a long time.
Using el-get
allows to fix the issue. Could it be a MELPA related bug?
Also, I was able to shrink down moe-theme
load time a lot with this:
(el-get-bundle moe-theme)
(use-package moe-theme
:config
(setq moe-theme-highlight-buffer-id t)
(setq moe-theme-resize-org-title '(1.6 1.4 1.2 1.1 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0))
(moe-dark))
Now my load time is back to 0.4 seconds and I started using moe-theme
again.
:tada:
Currently when installed moe-theme is not available to theme pickers like helm-themes. This is because it's not using the Emacs custom theme machinery. As the theme is Emacs 24 only there is no particular reason not to use it.
