I'm an emacs newbie and I've been trying to set up my indent style for cc-mode. I like to write code like this:

if(true)
{
    foo();
    bar();
}

But the default indent style is more like:

if(true)
  {
    foo();
    bar();
  }

It seems the indent style I want is "bsd" while the default is "gnu". I put the following in my init.el file to change the settings:

(setq c-default-style "bsd")
(setq c-basic-indent 4)
(setq c-basic-offset 4)

This changed the offset and the default style, but when I typed some code out, it was still formatted like the gnu style. To clarify, I would type out if(true) [ENTER] { [ENTER] foo(); [ENTER] } and the result would be the gnu style code. I also tried putting this in my init.el, for the same results:

(defun my-c-mode-hook ()
(setq c-basic-offset 4
    c-indent-level 4
    c-default-style "bsd"))
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-hook)

I could tell the settings were definitely changed because in the minibuffer I evaluated this expression (message "%s %s %d" c-default-style c-indentation-style c-basic-offset) to get this result: "bsd bsd 4"

I am using graphene. Is it possible that one of its included packages (smartparens or autocomplete maybe) could be interfering with my settings?

    It seems that you're doing the right thing. You should ask here: https://github.com/rdallasgray/graphene/issues. Also have a look at https://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit, to see why pre-packaged starter kits aren't the best way to go. – abo-abo Mar 12 '14 at 07:35
