How to change theme in Emacs - Sun, Feb 18, 2024
Welcome to my Emacs for noobs series. Let's change Emacs color theme and move the configuration file to a better place
In order to change Emacs theme to one of the built-in ones do the following: First fire up M-x and call customize-themes and hit enter. This should open up theme picker where you will scroll down and hit enter on the theme you prefer. Then head back up to Save Theme Settings and hit Enter there. This will create your .emacs configuration file if you did not already have one.
After changing the theme I recommend exiting Emacs and moving ~/.emacs to ~/.emacs.d/init.el location. Fire up Emacs after that to verify that your theme is still active meaning that you have moved the config file to the correct place. This will make it more tidy to have all your Emacs configuration inside one folder and it will help you sync/backup your whole Emacs setup to GIT in the future. I will cover this in my follow-up videos soon.
