Subject: A different color appears in the unused screen lines
Date: Sun, 26 May 2002 16:25:41 -0600 (MDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200205262225.g4QMPfp06457@aztec.santafe.edu> (raw)
When I put this in .emacs
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
'(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "DarkSlateGray" :foreground "wheat" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 135 :width normal :family "adobe-courier")))))
the specified colors appear, but empty areas of the screen--those
beyond the last character on the line or in the buffer--come out in a
different color, a little lighter than DarkSlateGray.
I did M-x list-faces-display, and I saw that no face had a background
equivalent to the color of those empty areas.
I tried substituting a couple of other background colors. I tried
"black" and "blue". In those cases, the problem did not happen:
the screen appeared black or blue down to the end.
Does anyone know where that color is coming from? I tried to study
the display code to figure it out but I can't find it. I suspect that
the cause has to do with what GC is specified when x_clear_end_of_line
runs; does anyone know where that is specified?
