Use frame parameter `cursor-color' (in `default-frame-alist'). > And for font size? That's part of the font definition - frame parameter `font' (in `default-frame-alist'). If you like what you saw in your black frame, then just do `C-h v frame-parameters' to see what the current frame parameters are, and set those you want in `default-frame-alist'. > I looked for these in the "Help" and some googling, > but no help. Look in the Emacs manual (`C-h r', or `C-h i' and choose `Emacs'). Use `i' to look for something that is in the index. E.g. `i font TAB', `i cursor TAB'. Or look in the Elisp manual: `i frame parameters'. Or use the search field on Emacs Wiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SiteMap.
