What I was looking for, was the means to change various emacs -nw, Emacs-nox parameters in just the terminal. And still looking for a theme or a set of fonts/faces that would just assume 16 bit colour and give a decent terminal interface emacs a bit of colour/fonts/faces. I've pretty much given up on .X* configuration changes and decided to look for configuration options in 1 place i.e .emacs For GUI, I've gotten it down to (when (window-system) ;; looks like this is deprecated (setq default-frame-alist '((top . 24) (left . 1) (width . 172) (height . 38) (background-color . "DarkSlateGray") (foreground-color . "Wheat") (cursor-color . "Red") (horizontal-scroll-bars . nil) (vertical-scroll-bars . nil) (font . "-outline-Cascadia Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1") )) (setq initial-frame-alist '((top . 24) (left . 1) (width . 172) (height . 38))) (set-frame-font "-outline-Cascadia Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")) And now want to set terminal Emacs along similar lines. sivaram --
