283 @code{custom-file}. By default @code{custom-file} is your @file{.emacs} 283
284 file. If you use another file, you must explicitly load it yourself. 284 When you save customizations, the current implementation removes the
285 The two functions will initialize variables and faces as you have 285 calls to @code{custom-set-variables} and @code{custom-set-faces}, and

289 By default @code{custom-file} is your @file{.emacs} file (for GNU Emacs
290 and older XEmacs) and is @file{custom.el} in the same directory as

292 must explicitly load it yourself.

294 As of XEmacs 21.4.7, when @var{custom-file} is present, it is loaded
295 @emph{after} @file{init.el}. This is likely to change in the future,
296 because (1) actions in @file{init.el} often would like to depend on
297 customizations for consistent appearance and (2) Custom is quite brutal
298 about enforcing its idea of the correct values at initialization.
