However, only the current frame is selected when Preferences.el is called, and nothing says that this is to be the default background - hence it may (and will be!) set to something else again. Have a look at the "Frame Appearance Styles" menu - this set of functions sets the frame style according to the major mode. When you have several frames open, you can more easily distinguish their contents if, for instance, the background colors differ. > - If I edit a Python file, no indentions are made, do I have to > activate the Python mode? Should be activated automatically when you open a .py file. Does it say "python-mode" in the mode line, i.e. (almost) at the bottom of the editing window? If not, M-x python-mode (M-x is Option-X or ESC X) in Aquamacs will help - alternatively, use the "Change Buffer Mode" function in the "File" menu. Hope that helps. -- http://aquamacs.org -- Aquamacs: Emacs on Mac OS X
