Cursor color under emacs for read only files.

Cursor color under emacs for read only files.

[Christian Klugesherz]

Dear emacs users

My configuration is following: Sun Solaris 8 and Emacs 20.3
My question concerns the cursor color under emacs.
To configure that, I use next code in .emacs file

(setq default-frame-alist
   '(
         (cursor-color     . "greenyellow")
         (cursor-type      . box)
     )
)

This works well when I open read/write files.
But when I open "read only" files, the cursor changes to another color
???
Could somebody help me, and tell me where I can configure the cursor
color for a "read only" file

Thanks in advance

Chris

After now two weeks of surch I have found the reason of my problem.
I hope the solution can help others:
The reason was the use of cual-mode  package
To configure the cursor use following command

(load "emacs/com/cua-mode")
(CUA-mode t)
(CUA-keypad-mode 'prefix t)

(setq CUA-mode-normal-cursor-color "red")
          (setq CUA-mode-overwrite-cursor-color "yellow")
          (setq CUA-mode-read-only-cursor-color "green")

Bye

Chris
