I looked at Google but I can't seem to work it out. >> >> emacs -bg gainsboro & >> >> still gives me a white background. KR> Try specifying the -q and --no-site-file options before -bg COLOR. There are Elisp specific solutions for the problem. Putting something like this in the .emacs file (setq default-frame-alist '((cursor-color . "gold") (background-color . "black") (foreground-color . "#feffD9") (height . 40) (width . 80) )) sets the default cursor color, background color, foreground color, height and width of any other frame you create. for the current frame (set-background-color "gold") (set-cursor-color "black") (set-foreground-color "#feffD9") do the job for colors :) /\ ___ /___/\__|_|\_|__|___Gian Uberto Lauri_____________________ //--\ | | \| | Integralista GNUslamico e fancazzista \/
