Package: emacs,ns [ resent from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-01/msg00393.html ] Right now, even after color-theme has been loaded and a color-theme has been evaluated which provides its own highlight face, Emacs still uses the system highlight color. However, evaluating the color theme a second time causes Emacs to use the highlight face as specified in the color-theme.
