Subject: Re: customized default face doesn't work on new frames
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 04:59:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E18bHfS-0002Pw-00@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <rzqwukzd67e.fsf@albion.dl.ac.uk> (message from Dave Love on 20 Jan 2003 18:30:45 +0000)

    If you customize the default face, it doesn't take effect on
    subsequently-created frames, which is surprising.  The code somewhat
    suggests this is intentional, but I can't see why and the behaviour
    simply seems wrong.

I think that is a bug.  Where exactly does the code suggest this was
intentional?

I tried it just now, changing the background of `default' to purple,
and it did take affect for subsequently created frames--almost.  It
changed the background for text, but it did not work quite right in
setting the background for empty areas of the screen.  Is that what
you observed?

I have a suspicion that this relates to screen-gamma.
