(dolist (b (buffer-list)) (when (or (string= (buffer-name b) " *Echo Area 0*") (string= (buffer-name b) " *Echo Area 1*")) (with-current-buffer b (make-local-variable 'face-remapping-alist))) (add-to-list 'face-remapping-alist '(default (:background "black")))) Same result: changes the background of all buffers and the mini window reverts to the previous background from time to time (often when there is no content to show on the mini window.)
