Many attempts have ended in vain. Please somebody help, please. I've been using the following to set up my Emacs colors (dig up from google) up till emacs-21.2-33, but they no longer work under emacs-21.3+1-5. - - - - >8 - - - - Emacs.default.attributeBackground: gray25 Emacs.default.attributeForeground: gray85 Emacs*XlwMenu.background: gray35 Emacs*XlwMenu.topShadowColor: gray60 Emacs*XlwMenu.bottomShadowColor: gray10 Emacs*XlwMenu.foreground: gray80 - - - - >8 - - - - I've even made the above changes in /usr/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/Emacs.ad and starts with emacs -q --no-site-file. But still, emacs give me a black on white theme, which makes my eyes pain for over 3 weeks now. Can anybody help? Specifically, how can I set the editing area and menu's foreground/background?
