FYI, this is (some) of what I put in early-init.el:

(if (eq window-system 'x)
    (progn
      (menu-bar-mode 0)
      (set-face-attribute 'default nil
                          :family "DejaVu Sans Mono" :height 140)
      (set-face-attribute 'cursor nil
                          :background "red")
      (set-face-attribute 'trailing-whitespace nil
                          :background "pink")
      (setq default-frame-alist '((scroll-bar-width . 10)))))

(if window-system
    (progn
      (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
                   (cons 'height 50))
      (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
                   (cons 'width 80))))
