KDE tries to change the colors of non-KDE applications to match your KDE settings. From a previous posting: ===================== In KDE, go to Preferences/Look&Feel/Style, there's a checkbox that says "apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps" If you uncheck that, it should not interfere with your Emacs (you may need to re-start KDE). But, if you want to keep that feature turned on without interfering with your Emacs, modify the file Emacs.ad (search in /usr/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/Emacs.ad). That's where you tell KDE how to set the Xresources to the Emacs application. I have the following lines commented out so that they don't change my Emacs colors: ---- !Emacs.default.attributeForeground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND !Emacs.default.attributeBackground: WINDOW_BACKGROUND !Emacs*Foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND !Emacs*Background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND ;Emacs*font: FIXED_FONT ----- In this way, KDE still changes the colors/fonts of other applications AND also some things in Emacs (like the Menubar for example, which matches the KDE-menus colors/font). Good luck! Fernando// ===================== Klas Nordberg wrote: >Recently, I installed RedHat Linux 7.2 without any major problems, and I >got emacs version 20.7-41 which worked fine.
