Default is just fine for me. but sometimes, i want the background black. The problem is, you can't simply set background to black, you'll also need to change a bunch of default text colors. is there a simple way to set background to black and other colors automatically set to readable? Note: i rather not install any of those color theme stuff. This is emacs running GUI on Windows, not in terminal. So, no X11 or terminal/ANSI color setup involved. Just pure emacs. thanks. Xah
