Can't enable theme with customize

[nolyn]

Hi,

I'm using GNU Emacs 24.5.1.
I had problems setting the theme up. So I moved my .emacs to a backup location and started with a clean .emacs. I then use M-x customize-themes, select solarized and save the settings. After selecting solarized I can already see the theme working in my emacs.
Customize produces the following .emacc:

(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(custom-enabled-themes (quote (solarized)))
 '(custom-safe-themes
   (quote
    ("8db4b03b9ae654d4a57804286eb3e332725c84d7cdab38463cb6b97d5762ad26" default))))
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )

When I start a new emacs I don't see any changes. First of all I haven't seen .emacc instead of .emacs so far. It's not mentioned at emacswiki either. I tried copying the .emacc file to .emacs but I also didn't have any effect.

Sir @nolyn

have you tried emacs --debug-init ? and see the resulting erors.
