I try to turn the background dark green ("DarkSlateGray"), everything works fine with NTemacs but either of the two following commands at the end of the .emacs fails to do what i want on the linux box: (set-background-color "DarkSlateGray") (set-face-background 'default "DarkSlateGray") I also tried to set it thru the "customize GUI". Funny thing is that it works in NTemacs and also that the color of the background is turn to dark green during the loading of emacs (0.5 seconds) but then it goes back to white... Any idea ... Thank you Jean Daniel Browne By the way, someone may know how to turn off the additional icons bar of the GNUemacs installed by Red Hat 8. Very nice, but well, i don't like it. Thank you
