Show paren mode doesn't work with Emacs 25.1.1 in daemon mode

[eflanigan00]

emacs --daemon emacsclient -c It works in other themes so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Hi,

I had a similar issue. But is not that show-paren-mode is not working, the problem is that the face colour for show-paren-match and show-paren-mismatch is indistinguishable from normal text when starting emacs as a daemon. You can change the face to test it with set-face-attribute.

Actually is not the only face, other faces have different background colours depending if emacs is started as daemon or not (e.g. font-lock-comment-face). Not sure why that happens, but looks related to issue #78.

Any update on this? Something about the theme doesn't load properly when daemon mode starts. If eval (load-theme 'spacemacs-dark t) after the daemon starts everything seems to be ok. But it would be great if I could get the theme to load normally the first time.

Hello @eflanigan00, there's a PR https://github.com/nashamri/spacemacs-theme/pull/89 that might solve this issue. Sorry, I still didn't have the time to work on it.

[eflanigan00]

Can you include the PR so we can try it out?

[nashamri]

@eflanigan00 you can get it from @jabranham branch https://github.com/jabranham/spacemacs-theme/tree/fix-theme-loading. As I said, I need to test it more and I didn't have the time yet. If you test it and it solves the issue, please let me know.

I tried this and it doesn't solve the problem I'm seeing.
