@therightpremiums I installed color-theme. You can find it by searching for ColorTheme on emacswiki. Color themes will be included by default in Emacs 24.
@jujufrenchy The aesthetic nature of it is largely due to the fact that I'm only using top level headlines and plain lists - if you have color-theme installed, you can use that theme by invoking color-theme-comidia. As headlines get deeper, you'll find that other colors are used that just the blue seen here.
thanks for the video. But what an incredible disaster. Even in searching for a buffer, you create more buffers automatically. This means you will always have a proliferation of buffers and clutter. It is a user interface nightmare which is considered a `feature'. The idea of "reading more about buffer switching" strikes me as such a monumental waste of time that I just begin to cry.
Is there any way of doing away with all this buffer clutter????
@mgualt1 Buffers are essentially working areas in memory, so in searching for buffers, more buffers are indeed created that hold the names of the buffers you might want to switch to ("completions"). In general, however, buffers that are surrounded by asterisks ("*Completions*") are, by convention, global variables in lisp, and so you'll generally have only one completions buffer. To address this, use tools like ido-mode or iswitchb to rapidly filter the list.
Thank you. I couldn't make heads or tails on how to use emacs by reading the manual, which mostly focuses on things I don't care about to just use it. Your tutorials are the best. They focus on the essentials to getting things done and running quickly.
How do you get black background?

@rpdillon thanks! Was a bit of a mission to install color-theme but it was worth the trouble :) Thanks again
