So set the foreground colour too, or use eg emacs -nw -fg white -bg black > However, I'm not using X, only -nw, which used to support transparent > background just like that, now it seems it is doesn't anymoar, because > apparently one cannot unset background colour. Oh I see. You are using emacs -nw inside a transparent terminal emulator, and Emacs detected the background mode as dark when it should have been light (or vice versa), and manually specifying colours loses the transparency effect.
