Does anyone know which variables I have to set? Don't kill anybody, but here is how I do it for myself: ;;; Setup default emacs frames (windows) location and size (setq default-frame-alist '((wait-for-wm . nil) (top . 0) (left . 0) (width . 85) (height . 40) (background-color . "gray15") (foreground-color . "limegreen") (cursor-color . "LightGoldenrod") (mouse-color . "yellow") )) ;;; But your first frame can be different than all others (setq initial-frame-alist '((top . 55) (left . 184) (width . 100) (height . 40) )) Artur -- Artur Hefczyc Open Source Developer http://www.geotools.org/ http://wttools.sourceforge.net/
