Problems with GnuEmacs 21.4.1

Everything works fine, if I start with load-library color-theme in
the input line. If I try to load from .emacs file I get an error:

Wrong type argument: keymapp, nil

[…]

setq: Symbol's function definition is void: color-theme-filter

Same for me!!! Sob… Emilio Luque

The answer is simple, I made a change in the code (pretty small
change btw) to make color-theme working with emacs-devel. To switch
back this change, just change all occurences of easy-add-menu to
have "tools" instead of "Tools". That should do the trick. I have
opened a bug report on Gna!
(https://gna.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=5059).

Re: Background color in emacs

[Stefan Bienert]

Thanks a lot!

it is sufficient to just change ¨Tools¨ into ¨tools¨ in these lines!

Re: Background color in emacs

[Stefan Bienert]

Hello,

now I've downloaded color-theme 6.5.5 and put the following into my .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp")
    (require 'color-theme)

Now I get the following error on startup:

An error has occurred while loading `/home/sbienert/.emacs':

Wrong type argument: keymapp, nil

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause
of the error in your initialization file and remove it.  Start
Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error
backtrace
Loading mwheel...done
setq: Symbol's function definition is void: color-theme-filter

What now? Is color-theme really worth fighting?

greetings,

Stefan

Comment out these four lines (they're around line 588 in my copy of
color-theme.el):

(require 'easymenu)
(easy-menu-add-item nil '("Tools") "--")
(easy-menu-add-item  nil '("Tools")
  ["Color Themes" color-theme-select t])

Another way to it is to use color-theme and color-theme-dark-laptop.

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?ColorTheme

(require 'color-theme nil t)
(color-theme-dark-laptop)

You also need to set the foreground color, for example:

 M-x set-foreground-color RET green RET

There is something called `color-theme' that you might want to check
out. It helps you do all that, and more:

Background color in emacs

[Stefan Bienert]

Hello,

I'm trying to get emacs in X to the same look as in the console. I mean with a black background. But if I use set-background-color, the black font in emacs does not turn into white?
Any help?

You could try something this:

         (setq initial-frame-alist '(
                 (border-color     . "#4e3832")
                 (mouse-color      . "midnightblue")
                 (foreground-color . "pink")
                 (background-color . "black")
                 (font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset- 
hiraginomin")
                 (top . 10) (left . 650) (width . 89) (height . 60)))
         (setq default-frame-alist '(
                 (background-color . "ghost white")
                 (foreground-color . "grey10")
                 (vertical-scroll-bars . left)
                 (font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-fontset- 
hiraginokaku")
                 (cursor-color . "purple")
                 (cursor-type . box)
