Changing the colors of the initial frame

Changing the colors of the initial frame

[Volker Wysk]

Hi!

I have this in my .emacs:

(setq default-frame-alist  '(
  (height . 55)                         
  (width . 190)                         
  (font . "10x20")                      
  (vertical-scroll-bars . t)            
  (horizontal-scroll-bars . nil)        
  (foreground-color . "#00FF30")        
  (background-color . "black")          
  (cursor-color . "white")              
  (cursor-type . box)                   
))

However, this does not get applied to the initial frame. The background is 
white. When creating a new frame (make-frame), the settings take effect. How 
do I configure the initial frame?

I also have this in .emacs:

(set-face-foreground 'mode-line  "white")
(set-face-background 'mode-line  "black")

This doesn't seem to have any effect.

I'm using Emacs-24.4.1. When i was using version 23, it worked. After 
upgrading, the described problem occured.

Thanks for any help,
Volker

Did you try the above with initial-frame-alist as well?

Yes, I've just tried it - following Damien's hint. It works now.

Thanks,

Have a look at initial-frame-alist.
