The only reason why I consider this a bug (or an annoying feature) is that it lacks documentation (couldn't find anything in the Emacs manual). It would be nice if there was a small blurb in the manual that Emacs tries to pick a color scheme that suits light/dark backgrounds. And how to disable it, if that is possible. Because I actually prefer the "light" colors on a dark background. Cheers, -- Alfred M. Szmidt
