Test for and adapt to: -nw

Test for and adapt to: -nw

[Tim Johnson]

Using emacs 23~ on linux. In some cases it would be preferable for me to
use the -nw (do not use X) initialization option.

1)Is there an emacs function to test for X communication?
 example: (using-X-p)
2)Are there any color themes composed especially for emacs?

I would like to do something like this in .emacs:
(if (using-X-p)
  (color-theme-gnome)     ;; from color-theme.el
	(nw-color-theme-gnome)) ;; from where ??

3)Is there something like an .Xresources file for a non-X emacs?

thanks

   Found the 'window-system variable. This suffices for the test
	 that I need.

  Should have asked:
  2)Are there any color themes composed especially for terminal-mode emacs?

  I have found the (tty-color-alist) function, which gives me
	information on the frame terminal.

  answers to question 2 may save me some work on a color scheme for
	terminal mode.

Here's what I do:

(if (eq (symbol-value 'window-system) nil)
     (color-theme-clarity)
     (color-theme-robin-hood))

  Yep, I am using the same test now.
