Set the modeline colors. Emacs.modeline*attributeForeground: Black Emacs.modeline*attributeBackground: AntiqueWhite1 Some time ago, maybe even years ago, they stopped working, and I just now decided I'd try to figure out what was going on. I used "editres" to try to figure out what X resource I should be setting, thinking that the name had changed. However, I couldn't find anything that looked like the right thing. Is this even how this is done anymore? I'm running Emacs 21.2 on OS X 10.4, built for X11 (obviously), not Carbon. Thanks, Greg
