	    I am using Redhat Linux 7.1 (Seawolf). When I open emacs on KDE,
    the background color of the font is white.

Is that wrong?  I don't know, but I don't see anything obviously
wrong about a white background.  Perhaps you should send a clearer
explanation of why you think this is wrong.

You might try Emacs 21.2 or the latest sources from CVS and see
if the problem still happens.

Please read the Bugs section in the Emacs manual, which provides
guidelines on how to write a bug report to give us the
necessary information so we can fix the bug.

Background Color

[Jochen Witte]

Hi,

I am an Emacs newbie. I would simply like to change the background
color. What do I have to put in .gnu-emacs-custom?

Greetings
Jochen

Re: Background Color

[Todd Kokoszka]

I put it in my start up line ... emacs -bg color. I don't know how to do it
in the .emacs file. Nor do I know how the two methods compare. 

.gnu-emacs-custom -- are you on windows? If so, there's a separate list
dedicated to emacs users on windows that may be better able to answer your
question.

Add a line called

(set-background-color white)

in the .emacs file.

Get back if there are any problems.
