The previous version is 24.3.1 The default color scheme is great, but running load-theme for any installed theme does not give me the color scheme that I expect. *Messages* shows nothing of concern on startup. The background remains light. I would guess that some setting has a value that is forcing the background to a something close to white, (regardless of theme selection) but don't know where to look for it. Any help is appreciated. thanks -- Tim http://www.akwebsoft.com, http://www.tj49.com
