Well, actually, I haven't compiled xemacs as is not of my interest, so I'm talking about emacs for xterm/tty (xterm mainly). I'm using a 256-color xterm, and have set font-lock-maximum-decoration to true. But I think was even before of any of this, when I could already use c-syntax higlighting being able to see more than 16 colors?, anyway I can do it now. I see variants of blue, green, etc, but just within the syntax, not when I try to configure faces, though. I prefer to have dark colors like black and maybe green for the foreground, but when it comes to the bottom menu bar, which is the only I've left alive, the reverse-video just kills me, and I can see a bit darker green within the c-syntax higlighting, which I'd wouldn't mind to have as revere video. So wheter I cannot have a full 256 colors within xterm, is there chance I could set up some of this colors to be used with the menubar?
