Colours

I was wondering about setting colours in Emacs ... and then started wondering about Themes and even how to find out what variables to set.

Well, here is a website that gives all the colours you can set:


http://raebear.net/comp/emacscolors.html

How can you use them?  Well to start off, try putting this in your init file ....

(set-background-color  "grey95")

It is a very simple change - changes the background to light grey, however you get the idea.


Themes

Try this website to view a few:

Toolbar

Want to determine whether the toolbar is on or off?

(tool-bar-mode t)


Variables

I found this list this morning, however there are a lot more than this:
