New frame seem to ignore foreground/background color definition from > _emacs. I have in my _emacs Use the default-frame-alist for this like so: (setq default-frame-alist (append default-frame-alist '((foreground-color . "white") (background-color . "blue") (cursor-color . "red") (width . 80) (height . 34) (font . "-*-Courier-normal-r-*-*-*-240-*-*-c-0-*-*-")))) You can go (frame-parameters) in the *scratch* window for a list of what is allowed. Further documentation can be found under "frame" in the elisp reference. - George From owner-ntemacs-users@june Fri Nov 29 09:10:57 1996 X-VM-v5-Data: ([nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil] [nil "Fri" "29" "November" "1996" "16:06:31" "+0000" "Ronan Waide" "waider@autodealing.com" nil "32" "Re: colors in gnuserv" "^From:" nil nil "11" nil nil nil nil] nil) Received: from joker.cs.washington.edu (joker.cs.washington.edu [128.95.1.42]) by june.cs.washington.edu (8.8.3+CSE/7.2ju) with SMTP id JAA06497 for ; Fri, 29 Nov 1996 09:10:57 -0800 Received: from june.cs.washington.edu (june.cs.washington.edu [128.95.1.4]) by joker.cs.washington.edu (8.6.12/7.2ws+) with ESMTP id JAA30255 for ; Fri, 29 Nov 1996 09:10:56 -0800 Received: from mail (gate.autodealing.com [194.125.131.131]) by june.cs.washington.edu (8.8.3+CSE/7.2ju) with SMTP id IAA05121 for ; Fri, 29 Nov 1996 08:08:57 -0800 Received: from waider.autodealing.com(really [194.9.15.139]) by mail via sendmail with smtp id for ; Fri, 29 Nov 96 16:06:31 +0000 (GMT) (Smail-3.1.93 1996-May-30 #2 built 1996-Jun-28) Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <199611291301.NAA28368@wallace.info.bt.co.uk> References: <329EB805.4E15@hplb.hpl.hp.com> <199611291301.NAA28368@wallace.info.bt.co.uk> Organization: AutoDealing Software, Ltd.

This is actually a general emacs question, not an NT specific one; you may find help in one of the generic emacs support fora. However, here's what works for me: ;;; Do the colours (setq default-frame-alist '((background-color . "black") (foreground-color . "wheat") (cursor-color . "wheat") (menu-bar-lines . 1) (horizontal-scroll-bars . nil) (vertical-scroll-bars . nil))) (set-face-foreground 'modeline "black") (set-face-background 'modeline "wheat") (set-face-background 'highlight "navy") (set-face-foreground 'highlight "green") Regards, Waider. -- waider@autodealing.com / AutoDealing Software Ltd / +353-1-6766455 "Love wouldn't be blind if the braille wasn't so damned much fun." - Armistead Maupin
