When I started using Emacs.app, I had the following in my .emacs
in order to use light fonts on a black background.
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "lightyellow"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(cursor-color . "Yellow3"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
'(background-color . "black"))
(set-face-background 'region "rgb:8/6/5")
(set-face-foreground 'region "lightyellow")
(set-face-foreground 'modeline "lightgoldenrod")
(set-face-background 'modeline "gray21")
(set-face-foreground 'highlight "lightyellow")
(set-face-background 'highlight "yellow4")
(set-face-foreground 'bold "white")
(set-face-foreground 'italic "tan1")
But sometimes I want to start up with a default white background,
because of background lighting, for example.
I do not know how to do it with current Emacs.app. It does not help
to remove the above commands from my .emacs.
At this point, even Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -q still results
in black backgrounds to all frames.
I would like to have a simple toggle in my .emacs that would give me a
black background as above if I toggle things one way and would give
me a default white background if I toggle things the other way.
This is very easy in Carbon Emacs, by changing one line in my .emacs
in order to load a .el file with the above commands or not load that file.
Any advice?
