I just add an entry to `special-display-buffer-names' to customize the *Help* buffer's frame (standalone, in my case): ("*Help*" my-display-*Help*-frame ; display fn raises the frame ((background-color . "Thistle") (mouse-color . "Blue Violet") (cursor-color . "Blue Violet") (height . 40))) And there are other ways to customize a *Help* frame. What's missing?
