+Sharing your current color setup:
+
+Use `color-theme-submit'. If you have already invested time in
+customizing Emacs faces, please consider sharing your current setup.
+Make sure that color-theme.el is in your `load-path'. Type M-x
+load-library RET color-theme RET to load all the functions. Type M-x
+color-theme-submit RET and mail the result to the maintainer of this
+package (see above for mail addres).
+
+If you want to make sure that all your customization was exported,
+type M-x list-faces-display RET to get a list of all faces currently
+defined. This is the list of faces that `color-theme-print' uses.
+
+Installing a color theme:
+
+Make sure that color-theme.el is in your `load-path'. Type M-x
+load-library RET color-theme RET to load all the functions.
+
+The main function to call is color-theme-select. Type M-x
+color-theme-select RET. That creates a Color Theme Selection
+buffer. Press RET or `i' on a color theme to install it for the
+rest of your session.
+
+If you want to install the color theme as soon as Emacs is started
+up, read the description of the theme you like and remember the
+name of the color theme function. Press `d' on a color theme in
+the Color Theme Selection buffer to read the description. Assuming
+you like the Gnome2 theme, you'll find that the function to use is
+called `color-theme-gnome2'. Add the following to the end of your
+.emacs (removing the leading `;;').
+
+(require 'color-theme)
+(color-theme-gnome2)
+
+Changing menu colors:
+
+In Emacs 21 on X, you can set the menu colors and font using the
+menu face. Example for your .emacs file:
+
+ (set-face-font 'menu "7x14")
+ (set-face-foreground 'menu "white").
+
+If are using X, you can set the menu foreground and background using
+a resource file, usually .Xdefaults or .Xresources. Usually
+.Xdefaults is used when you start your session using a display
+manager such as xdm or gdm. .Xresources is usually used when you
+start X directly via a shell script such as startx. If you set
+Emacs*Background and Emacs*Foreground in such a resource file, the
+foreground and background of Emacs including the menu will be set.
+If your .emacs then loads a color theme, the foreground and
+background are changed -- with the exception of the menu. There is
+no way to manipulate the menu foreground and background color from
+elisp. You can also set more specific menu resources for Emacs in
+the resource file. Here is a sample entry for your resource file:
+
+ Emacs*Background: DarkSlateGray
+ Emacs*Foreground: wheat
+
+Creating your own color theme:
+
+Use M-x customize-face and customize the faces. Make sure to "Set
+for Current Session" -- you don't want to save these using custom!
+When you are done, call M-x color-theme-print to produce the elisp
+code required to recreate your theme. Better yet, use M-x
+color-theme-submit to mail it to the maintainer. That way it will be
+added to future versions of color-theme.el.
+
+For more information on the elisp format of a color theme, start with
+the documentation of `color-theme-install' using C-h f
+color-theme-install.
+
+When your color theme is just a variation of an existing color theme,
+take a look at `color-theme-robin-hood' in order to see an example of
+how to do it. Essentially you want to call all the parent color
+themes before installing your changes. For all but the first parent
+color theme, you need to make sure that `color-theme-is-cumulative'
+is bound to t. If you don't do that, users that set
+`color-theme-is-cumulative' to nil will only install your changes
+without the parent color themes.
+
+Making a color theme work for both Emacs and XEmacs:
+
+Once you have printed the color-theme, you can make sure it looks
+similar in both Emacs and XEmacs by running
+`color-theme-analyze-defun' on the printed theme. This function
+will check for missing faces for the other editor...
