The area without text is the right color. I even tried emacs -bg Blue -fg Green (from the command line) This gives a Blue background (only where there is no text). The side bar is green, and the bar where the buffer name is is green also. Text still black surrounded by white. I don't think this is an .Xresource problem, but maybe some default thing is weird. I have 2 computers which have this same issue. cheers, Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
