save-place t)Emacs24 has build in support for saving and loading themes.
A Theme builder is available at http://elpa.gnu.org/themes/ along with a list of pre-built themes at http://elpa.gnu.org/themes/view.html and themes are available through ELPA.
Downloaded themes may be saved to the themes/ directory in the base
of the starter kit which ignored by git. Once downloaded and
evaluated a theme is activated using the load-theme function.

(setq custom-safe-themes t)A light variant of the Solarized color theme. The basic idea is to
keep the default solarized theme clean and up-to-date and just change
some small part of it here. There is also some face changes for
powerline (see below).
