Forms mode font color

Forms mode font color

[Blake McBride]

Greetings,

I just moved from a Mac to Linux and I am having trouble with my emacs 
config.  Most everything works fine, except however, in forms mode.  The 
data fields are using a white font with a turquoise background.  It is 
very difficult to see.  I do not know how to control this in forms mode. 
  There are so many options these days that I hardly know where to 
start.  I'd like to edit my .emacs file to fix this.  I've been using 
forms mode for at least 15 years and never had this problem before.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Blake

Anywhere, just move the cursor on the field you want to change the face,
and type M-x customize-face RET RET

Also you can press "C-u C-x =" to see all info about faces and overlays
under the point.
