At home I've got a Mac and I'm using Emacs.app built out of MacPorts. At work I'm using the latest Emacs binary distro from GNU for Windows XP 32-bit. On both systems I regularly start Emacs with `-fg white -bg black -cr white` to set up a basic color set that I think works very nicely. At work on Windows, this works very nicely with dark gray borders on the windows (so when you get the 'line continuation' arrows you can see them on the background). At home, on the other hand, they are white. This is pretty bad, as most of the status things that show up in that little border are also white. As a side note, the cursor on the Mac is also solid no matter what, so when I go over a character with it, it blocks it out rather than allowing me to see it in a reverse video fashion. How do I fix this? I'm primarily interested in getting my Mac install to behave like my Windows install.
