Well, Emacs has different color schemes for light and dark background, and it might have no clue about what you set the terminal to. frame-background-mode's value is nil *The brightness of the background. Set this to the symbol `dark' if your background color is dark, `light' if your background is light, or nil (default) if you want Emacs to examine the brightness for you. Don't set this variable with `setq'; this won't have the expected effect. You can customize this variable. Defined in `faces'. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
