Can't apply a color theme to a single frame in Emacs?

Question

My .emacsfile is here . I want the theme to change when I'm in shell-mode. But what happens is that the theme applies to all windows. I set the variable color-theme-is-globalto nil, but the problem still persists.

(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'color-theme-monokai-terminal)
(set-variable 'color-theme-is-global nil)

These are the relevant lines in my file .emacs. What to do to make it work?

Answer 1

I usually start Emacs as a daemon, and then open frames as needed. I use different color themes for X frames and terminal frames:

(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-initialize)

(defun apply-color-theme (frame)
  "Apply color theme to a frame based on whether its a 'real'
   window or a console window."
  (select-frame frame)
  (if (window-system frame)
      (color-theme-tango)
    (color-theme-tango-black)))

(setq color-theme-is-global nil)
(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'apply-color-theme)

(if window-system ...) shell- script -mode color-theme-X .
