What does "call frame-attribute" mean? I see no such function in Emacs 22.1.
Could you please give a more concrete example?
Sorry, I should have written `face-attribute'.
Assuming I could understand and do what you describe, why would each person
need to do all of that, just to be able to change a face attribute? Can't we
have an Emacs function that does exactly that, change certain attributes
only? What was wrong with `modify-face', for that matter?
I don't mind.
