Here is full description of all information that I think that applies
there.
In my init.el I have this customization related to faces.
(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.
'(default ((t (:inherit nil :extend nil :stipple nil :background "white" :foreground "black" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 140 :width normal :foundry "GOOG" :family "Noto Sans Mono"))))
'(term ((t (:background "black" :foreground "white smoke" :height 1.2 :family "xos4 Terminus")))))
Side notes:
- I have found this happening since long time, it could be that I
already filed bug on this
- normally I use GUI, not TUI, but when answering many emails one
after the other, Emacs in XTerm (TUI) gives me more consistent
interface as I do not need to switch my focus from XTerm to GUI.
- I do not install any outside themes, I just use the built-in Emacs
themes, and I do not have any favorite. Often randomly I change the
theme.
Intention while working in XTerm is that by quickly changing the
theme to get a better contrast.
With the above settings then if I would do just:
M-x customize-themes
and choose any theme, the foreground and background color would not
change.
It does not matter if I try changing themese from TUI or GUI.
Example is adwaita and deeper-blue, if I click there, foreground and
background do not change. So to make them change, I do: M-x
customize-faces and choose `default' and then I unset foreground and
background colors and click 0 to have it remembered for a session.
As soon as I unset it, if I was in deeper-blue theme, then I get the
deeper-blue background.
Then I can also freely choose any of the themes below and foreground
and background will be changed by clicking on the theme.
I am unsure of it, but I think I remember times when I did not need to
unset foreground and background and theme switching would work
straight without unsetting.
My expectation is that I would not need to unset foreground/background
for default face and that theme should change it directly, but it does
not.
