Hi Pete,
Changing the .emacs only seems to work on some versions of emacs.
I've tried on 3 diff computers at work.
1. red hat linux, running emacs 22.0.90.2 I compiled myself:
splash screen: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Xttolkit, Xaw3d scrollbar
....2006-11-09
Mouse pointer is yellow arrow, transparent inside when visiting emacs
menu, yellow in buffers.
Adding to my .emacs
> (setq initial-frame-alist '(
> (mouse-color . "midnightblue")
doesn't make any difference.
2. red hat linux, running emacs 21.3.1 from rpm:
splash screen: ia64-redhat-linux-gnu Xttolkit, Xaw3d scrollbar
... 2005-02-03
Mouse pointer is bey default solid black.
Adding to my .emacs
> (setq initial-frame-alist '(
> (mouse-color . "midnightblue")
does work.
3. red hat linux, running emacs 21.3.1 from rpm:
splash screen: i386-redhat-linux-gnu Xttolkit, Xaw3d scrollbar
... 2003-05-02
as 1. Yellow pointer, can't change it.
I've also tried emacs -q to make sure it's not something strange I
use, and it makes no difference.
Still puzzled. --George
