Hi, I was unable to find any understandable explanation of how to do
this. I did find mention (I think in the int file docs) of using an
alist for features in your .emacs file, such as (feature . value).
But I could find no explanation at all on what the this means, how to do
it, how to use it, an example of the syntax, etc etc etc. Although I
searched the docs for hours. Do I sound frustrated?
How do set preferences in emacs so windows open with the colors I want?
I don't want to have to M-x set-foreground-color and M-x
set-background-color every time I open a window, I'm sure there has to
be a way to set defaults like this.
If you know how to do it, can you please provide an example.
File: emacs, Node: Creating Frames, Next: Frame Commands, Prev: Mode Line
Mouse, Up: Frames
Creating Frames
===============
...
You can control the appearance of new frames you create by setting
the frame parameters in `default-frame-alist'. You can use the
variable `initial-frame-alist' to specify parameters that affect only
the initial frame. *Note Initial Parameters: (elisp)Initial
Parameters, for more information.
The easiest way to specify the principal font for all your Emacs
frames is with an X resource (*note Font X::), but you can also do it by
modifying `default-frame-alist' to specify the `font' parameter, as
shown here:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "10x20"))
Here's a similar example for specifying a foreground color:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "blue"))
