Resetting Background Colour, but only Speedbar Background is changing

Resetting Background Colour, but only Speedbar Background is changing

[Christopher Dimech]

I haven been changing the background colour using the following
command. However only the background of the speedbar is changing.
The background of the Editor Frame remained the same as for the
specific Colour Theme.

(set-background-color "#360233")

That changes the background color only of the selected frame.

To apply this to all frames, use something like this:

  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "#360233"))

I have tried your suggestion but it is not taking effect
Have dome like this


; Set Frame Size
( setq initial-frame-alist '((width . 75) (height . 24)) )

; Set emacs font - Value is 1/10 pt, so 180 gives 18pt.
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 180)

; Modify background colour from Colour Theme
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "#e1ff00"))

; Number text lines and columns
(setq line-number-mode t)
(setq column-number-mode t)

Let me tell you what is happening, I have installed on my machine Emacs 24.

But I have also installed locally Emacs 27.1. The changes are being applied
to Emacs 24, but not to Emacs 27.1.

I have the following and the new colour is not taking effect



; Set custom-theme-load-path
( add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path
    (file-name-as-directory
       "/home/hagbard/GAdmSw/emacsPck/color--themes/")
)

(load-theme 'cobalt t t)
(enable-theme 'cobalt)

; Modify background colour for all frames
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "#e1ff00"))

; Set cursor color to white
(set-cursor-color "#fff63a")

Are you doing this in your .emacs init file?  That's where it should
be done.  It works for me, FWIW.

[Christopher Dimech]

I reckoned something got screwed up in the installation. I installed it
again and your suggestion works.

Thank you.
