Can anyone suggest how to customize that? 'M-x list-display-colors' didn't help: I couldn't find the colour I wanted over there, and even if I had found it I don't know how to set it by default. You can easily choose any color you like using command `doremi-bg' in library `doremi-frm.el', here: http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/doremi-frm.el. You can use the arrow keys or mouse wheel to increment/decrement the red, green, blue, hue, saturation, and value color components - the background changes as you do this. Additional explanation is here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/DoReMi. After you choose the background color you want, you can save it using Customize, so it will be used in future Emacs sessions. HTH, Drew
