diabling colors on tty

diabling colors on tty

[Pavel Hlavnicka]

Hi all,

simple question: Is there some trick, how to disable ALL colors (except 
black and white) on text terminal, but keep all lovely colors if running 
X-windowed emacs?

(Be hard, I can use lisp quite fine :)

Thanks in advance

Pavel

Put a section in your .emacs which turns off global-font-lock-mode if
you are running on a tty or turns it on if your runing under X. I use

(if (and (eq window-system 'x) (not noninteractive))
...

To set font colours to one colour under X and another when running
under a term. You could possibly use the same test to turn on font
lock mode under X and turn it off under a tty.
