As the documentation string says: "Set nil (default) if you want Emacs to examine the brightness for you". I think the [default] button is misleading into thinking it has something to do with the default value of frame-background-mode. Perhaps it should be changed from the button to ordinary text, because the [Value Menu] button prior to it has the same menu for selecting its value. Also the tag "default" could be changed to something more descriptive like "default brightness". -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
