Please click Help -> Aquamacs Wiki

There you'll find a FAQ and pointers to customization.  You want to use ~/.emacs or, better, Preferences.el.

Do not change anything inside the .app bundle.

Where did you look?  Not sure out of the top of my head.  
Help-> Emacs Manual is searchable (in Aquamacs 2.0) and should provide an answer.


As for color themes, do M-x customize-variable RET  c++-mode-hook RET
and then add the color theme function name there, e.g. `color-theme-goldrenrod'.

Save for future sessions.

You may need (require 'color-theme) in your Preferences.el.

Let me know if that works.
