> Did you try to change default-frame-parameters?

I meant to mention that `clone-frame', as
opposed to `make-frame', lets you, in effect,
have two different sets of frame parameters
for `C-x 5 2': `default-frame-alist' and
`clone-frame-parameters': If you use a prefix
arg with `clone-frame' then it just uses the
`default-frame-alist' parameters.

That's the purpose of `clone-frame'.  You
don't need to redefine `default-frame-alist',
which affects all frames; you can use a
different set of parameters when you make a
new frame.  (And you can auto-select the new
frame.)

---

clone-frame is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
'frame-cmds.el'.

It is bound to C-x 5 2, menu-bar frames make-frame.

(clone-frame &optional FRAME NO-CLONE)

Make and select a new frame with the same parameters as FRAME.
With a prefix arg, don't clone - just call 'make-frame-command'.
Return the new frame.

FRAME defaults to the selected frame.  The frame is created on the
same terminal as FRAME.  If the terminal is a text-only terminal then
also select the new frame.
