I have had this version around for a while now but have only been using it
when I needed to edit a single file.  However, I am now starting to use it
as a development platform and when I am in the starting frame and want to
launch another frame, the background/foreground/mouse and cursor colors are
not the same as the main frame.

I launch using the following method:

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -bg black -fg
mediumspringgreen -cr yellow -ms blue

This is also how I launch on my linux box (Ubuntu 18.04) minus the macOS
file path.  On linux I am running emacs 25.2.2 and when I launch a new
frame, it inherits the background/foreground, etc.  But this is not
happening on macOS.  I am wondering if it is because I am not using X
windows on the macOS?

In any case, is there a config method I can use so that all my frames
inherit the same background, foreground, etc short of setting the "default"
face?

Thanks,

Patrick
