Cycle Through Emacs Themes (alien.top)

I wrote a library that lets you cycle through the available themes in Emacs. F10 and shift-F10 keys will cycle forward and backward through the themes. The theme name is printed for reference.

https://github.com/tsengf/theme-cycle

Installation
Download theme-cycle.el into ~/.emacs.d.

Add the following to your Emacs configuration

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d)
(require 'theme-cycle)
;; Load as many themes as you are interested in exploring.
(use-package doom-themes)
(use-package ef-themes)
(use-package modus-themes)
(use-package solarized-themes)

To Use

Use F10 to cycle forward through the themes. Use shift-F10 to cycle backward through the themes.

That´s cool. I was working something similar today. I call it Emacs Disco as it changes themes randomly every 10 seconds :) Try this:

(run-with-timer 0 60 'cycle-themes)

Cycling shows everything in your session using each theme, in turn.

doremi-custom-themes+ is an interactive Lisp function in doremi-cmd.el.

It is bound to C-x t s.

(doremi-custom-themes+ &optional FLIP)

Successively cycle among custom themes.

The themes used for cycling are those in option doremi-custom-themes.

You can use C-g to quit and cancel changes made so far. Note, however, that some things might not be restored. C-g can only disable any themes that you applied. It cannot restore other customizations that enabling a theme might have overruled. Note: Having a lot of frames present can slow down this command considerably.

Option doremi-custom-themes-accumulate-flag determines whether cycling accumulates themes or disables all themes other than the current one. Note: A non-nil value (accumulating) can considerably slow down cycling.

Option doremi-themes-update-flag determines whether the updated value of doremi-custom-themes is saved. A prefix arg to this command flips the option value for the current invocation of the command.

Create an Emacs theme disco by randomly switching themes manually or automatically (from the Ef Themes collection): https://github.com/pprevos/disco-ef-themes
