Colors revert to default in new frame

Colors revert to default in new frame

[dvandyck]

Hi,

I used customization to change some colors from font lock and selection.

They work fine in the initial frame, but when I create a new frame they
revert to their defaults, while others remain the way I set them.

How can I tell emacs I want the colors I customized in ALL frames?

thanks

Dries

P.S. I run Emacs.app version 23 on Mac OS X

This is definitely the wrong list! Some members write it's only for  
ancient and recent versions of GNU Emacs and not the futuristic  
ones ... and there is:

(mostly Carbon versions) and there is also <mailto:emacs-app-dev-

I'm using Emacs 22.0.92 on Mac OS X, but there is no customize-color
command so I don't know what you mean.  Exactly how do you customize
the colors?  Does the problem occur if you start Emacs with the -Q
command line option?

I believe face 'scroll-bar' has such problem. I have reported here:

I got there through "Customize->Faces->Font-lock" and soforth. If I start it
with -Q option I get again the default colors and they always stick.

One of the developers mailed me the solution: on this Mac Version you have
to drag your colors onto the faces you want to change from the color window
you get from "Windows->Color". To change the background you use shift-drag.
After you're done, you select "Options->Save Options" and then the colors
stick -- at last.

Nevertheless, thanks for your input and time

Dries.
