Where are themes stored on macOS?

I have looked into /etc/ folder but I don't see any emacs directory. I havent' found any themes directory with theme files inside \~/.emacs.d directory, but maybe it's just hidden in some subdirectory os something. Where are theme files for themes like what I have right now - leuven theme - stored on macOS? For example I would like to see the leuven theme code where is it located? I am using Spacemacs if it's important.

You have to set something like this in your init.el : And for safety first delete leuven theme package and after setting config again install the package then see if its available. ​ `;; To Add path of theme` `(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "/PATH/TO/EMACS-LEUVEN-THEME/lisp")` `;; To set the theme` `(load-theme 'leuven t)`

So the theme is so far in C and the Lisp code hasn't been generated from the C code by Emacs? I am already using the leuven theme so it has to come from somewhere already.

[https://emacsthemes.com/themes/leuven-theme.html](https://emacsthemes.com/themes/leuven-theme.html) is this the theme you are talking about? The only directory that emacs is concerned about is .emacs.d (Maybe I am wrong) but if you already have theme and you haven't manually set the custom-theme-load-path then it must be somewhere in your .emacs.d directory only (Try to do a find or fd search) BTW I am assumming that you are using vanilla emacs.

I have mentioned that I am using Spacemacs. But on my Windows 11 laptop where I installed the vanilla Emacs via the exe installer provided from the [emacs.org](http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-28/) website. I do NOT see any themes directory either. Even though I can select and use the theme leuven via M-x load-theme leuven or wombat etc. so clearly it has to be stored somewhere. But where? Any idea? I can't find it even on a vanilla Windows installation of Emacs. Where is leuven stored on your macOS installation of Emacs?

Run M-x find-library RET leuven-theme RET This will open the lisp file where the theme is defined.

You are wrong. Emacs looks in the paths contained in the variable `custom-theme-load-path`. From this, we see that the variable `data-directory` is where the built-in themes are located. To answer OP's question, on my Mac, the path is `/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/themes/`.
