Approximations don't work on initial startup #1

Open Deewiant opened 9 years ago

Deewiant commented 9 years ago

Even with this fairly minimal init.el I simply can't get the approximation to work without having to do some manual work after starting emacs:

(require 'package)
(setq package-archives '(("melpa-unstable" . "http://unstable.melpa.org/packages/")))
(package-initialize)
(unless package-archive-contents (package-refresh-contents))
(unless (package-installed-p 'color-theme-approximate) (package-install 'color-theme-approximate))
(unless (package-installed-p 'sublime-themes) (package-install 'sublime-themes))
(color-theme-approximate-on)
(load-theme 'spolsky t)

Result after emacs -nw and the above init.el: default-approximated theme. Re-enabling the theme e.g. with M-x enable-theme causes the approximation to kick in, but I haven't found a way of getting it to work automatically. I tried using tty-setup-hook to delay calling load-theme but it didn't affect the end result.

emacs --version reports "GNU Emacs 24.4.1".

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi, sorry for the late response,

I'm still looking at this, the cause could be some change related to the advice system.

Thanks.

Any progress on this issue? I'm encountering the same problem, same version of emacs, loading the base16-monokai-dark-theme.

Hi, It's been a long time, so sorry. After a while trying to figure out what's changed in the advice system, I gave up. For now the workaround is to delay load theme, the window-setup-hook seems to work for me. My current config:

(color-theme-approximate-on)
(add-hook 'window-setup-hook (lambda () (load-theme 'solarized-dark t)))

Hi, I have this problem too but the window-setup-hook isn't working for me either.
