Palette colors override fail to show

[xmathe]

Not a real issue, rather annoyance.

System: Manjaro.
WM: i3 (x11)
Emacs daemon initiated: emacs.service (enabled)
Theme: ef-bio (loaded), ef-elea-light (to be toggled)
Palette override: cursor color.

Theme settings:

;; Ef-themes

(mapc #'disable-theme custom-enabled-themes)

(use-package ef-themes
  :ensure t
  :init
  (ef-themes-take-over-modus-themes-mode 1)
  :config
  (setq modus-themes-mixed-fonts nil)
  (setq modus-themes-italic-constructs t)
  (setq modus-themes-prompts '(bold italic))
  (setq modus-themes-completions
      '((matches . (semibold underline))
        (selection . (semibold italic))))
  (setq ef-bio-palette-overrides
      '((cursor "DarkOrange2")))
  (setq ef-elea-light-palette-overrides
      '((cursor "DarkOrange2")
	(bg-main "#dbe1c9")))
  (setq ef-themes-to-toggle '(ef-bio ef-elea-light)))

(modus-themes-load-theme 'ef-bio)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c e f") #'ef-themes-toggle)

Problem: When (and only when) opening the first gui frame, ef-bio shows up with original cursor color ("#35f038") and not with the desired orange color. However, when toggle the themes the cursor turns to the properly set orange color.

In cli frame I didn't experience such a behavior. It just works flawlessly.

Very well designed themes, thank you.

Hello @xmathe!

I cannot reproduce this on my end. When I open the Emacs GUI for the first time, the cursor is orange.

What I did:

• Create a new directory to test just your settings: /tmp/test/.
• Put only your code in the init.el inside that directory, so /tmp/test/init.el.
• Start Emacs with that directory: emacs --init-directory=/tmp/test/.
• It installs the packages and then loads.

Here is what I got:

Same if I close Emacs and open it again the same way.

Same results if I do emacs --daemon --init-directory=/tmp/test/ and then emacsclient -c.

Thank you for your time and efforts. Appreciated, indeed.
In the meantime I was experimenting a bit, means stabbing in the dark.
I commented out

• all the lines related to cursor (except for the above override lines),
• switched off beacon-mode,
• initial buffer was set to default etc. but no luck.

Restarting the systemd module, frame is up and the cursor still shows up the theme default color.

Anyway, if that's the worst thing that happens, we'll be fine.
