Yes. Something like this: Starting from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12654592/change-the-background-color-of-the-minibuffer-when-input-is-needed where the solution is: (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook (lambda () (make-local-variable 'face-remapping-alist) (add-to-list 'face-remapping-alist '(default (:background "green"))))) That works as advertised: the background changes when you are working on the minibuffer. However, I want the background changed permanently. So I tried: (dolist (b (buffer-list)) (when (minibufferp b) (with-current-buffer b (make-local-variable 'face-remapping-alist))) (add-to-list 'face-remapping-alist '(default (:background "black")))) but that changes the background of all buffers. And the minibuffer, when it is empty, eventually comes back to the original background.
