Cannot load spacemacs-theme by use-package

[zzp0]

(use-package spacemacs-theme
  :config
  (load-theme 'spacemacs-dark t))

Messages buffer shows Cannot load spacemacs-theme
p.s. I just use emacs-mac port without spacemacs kit

You can use the following instead:

(use-package spacemacs-theme
  :defer t
  :init (load-theme 'spacemacs-dark t))

:defer t will prevent requiring spacemacs-theme, which doesn't exist, :config ... will run some code after spacemacs-theme (a non-existent feature) is required. And since use-package doesn't look very meaningful here, also consider to just use (load-theme 'spacemacs-dark t).

@xuchunyang Thank you for your reply. But it didn't work, theme not loading completely, using default theme instead.

theme not loading completely, using default theme instead.

Did you mean something like this?

I encounter this if I have desktop-save-mode on and enable spacemacs-dark from init.el but then disable it in Custom Themes (M-x customize-themes).

@xuchunyang and @zzp0 , I'm finding that

(use-package spacemacs-theme
  :defer t
  :init (load-theme 'spacemacs-dark t))

also doesn't work. @zzp0 did you get it to work in your setup? @xuchunyang I don't have desktop-save-mode in my emacs.d .

I just want to use the spacemacs-theme right now, without using the entire spacemacs .emacs.d config . I like how the spacemancs-theme displays in the terminal, whereas some other themes don't display as nicely (e.g. solarized).

Nevermind. I accidentally was applying two themes at the same time. Later on in my .emacs.d, I was applying another theme. Sorry, @xuchunyang , your original code suggestion works just fine. Thanks!

Another option is:

(use-package spacemacs-common
    :ensure spacemacs-theme
    :config (load-theme 'spacemacs-light t))
