I looked into the .emacs file from my user and the root, but both are empty. Someone told me to look into the Xdefault, but my distribution doesn't have it. I know that I can put the colors settings in the .emacs file, but the thing is that I don't know the color that I want. What I want to do, is to copy the foreground and background colors being used by root to my user. So, I want to know if there is a specific file that store some standard colors in the case of the .emacs files being empty, or if this is distribution dependent. Or, if there is a command that shows the colors being used. And one thing that I have curiosity about, is why when I give a su to obtain administrative privileges, emacs starts with the same colors than my user, unlike when I login from the beginning as root. Thanks in advance for all the help. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Locating-the-default-colors-used-by-emacs-tf4022666.html#a11425562 Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
