You have set this %c and saved it in your init file. _The_ most important thing one needs to know when trying to save a previously saved option to a new value or reset it to standard, is whether it was saved _by Custom_, because that affects whether trying to save a new value or resetting to standard is guaranteed to work.
Hmmm ... I am confused. When I look at my .emacs file I see (custom-set-faces ;; ... '(Buffer-menu-buffer-face ((t (:weight normal)))) '(Info-title-1-face ((t (:background "DodgerBlue4" :foreground "white" :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 193 :width normal)))) ;; ... ) [[The poor pretty printing is not mine. The automatically written code should have incorporated a pretty printer with a fill column of 70. On looking at it, emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/pp.el lacks a variable for `fill-column' with a default value of 70; its addition should go on the emacs/etc/TODO list.]] When I want to change the background color from "DodgerBlue4" to "mediumblue" (as I did once) I simply change the expression and re-evaluate it. If I like the new color (I didn't) I save it. If I do not like the new color I revert it and save. As far as I know, when you set and save a value, you get the "last value saved from customize" (to quote emacs/lisp/cus-edit.el). The other possible states do not really matter. What matters is that Emacs evaluates the `custom-set-faces expression and saves it. It is nice to know about the other possible states. It is good to read the source code; but many novices will not. But some of them will look at the message. Hence, it is a good message. -- Robert J.
