Couldn't you load a color theme, depending on whether you start the GUI or the terminal version of Emacs? If your main problem is the light background of the standard graphical Emacs, this might work. Install color-theme[1], choose a color theme with a dark background you like and put in your .emacs something like: (require 'color-theme) (if (eq window-system 'w32) (color-theme-arjen)) This should load a color theme with a dark background if you start the standard Windows Emacs.
