color in Emacs
I would like to get some color in emacs, from checking the emacs ng it looks like .Xdefaults entries are the way to go, but I don't have an .Xdefaults file, just .xsession. Could someone post the 'color' portion of their .emacs file or point me in the right direction? thanks -- Make voyages, attempt them, there's nothing else. --Tennessee Williams
Re: color in Emacs
This is from my .Xdefaults (you can make it if you want to..it makes no difference): XEmacs*Background: White XEmacs*Foreground: Black After you make the file, usexrdb -merge .Xdefaults to put it into the X.

color in Emacs
Hello, Putting something like this emacs*background:white emacs*foreground:black in the .Xdefault file is nice. But, does there exist a list of colors to choose from. For example, as background I used grey but I find it still to dark. Is there a way to get it brighter (without using background:white)? Greetings, Stefan Goeman.
Re: color in Emacs
Try a program like gcolorsel. Very handy. Also remember that if you want the resources to be read automatically when you login Debian uses .Xresources rather then .Xdefaults. At least this is the way /etx/X11/Xsession seems setup to behave.

Or if you doesn't want to use GNOME; 'xcolorsel', or look at /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt, though that's a bit harder to use. I actually like xcolorsel better than the latest Helix-GNOME gcolorsel, YMMV. You can use everything from grey0 (black) through to grey100 (white) if you want grey as background. HTH Morten -- UNIX, reach out and grep someone!

Re: color in Emacs
List of colours to choose from is in a file called /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt. The combination of colours dependes upon your personal choice, and trial and error is the best answer. My personal choice is: emacs*background:DarkSlateGrey emacs*foreground:Wheat Bish On Wed, Aug 23, 2000 at 10:42:38AM +0200, Goeman Stefan wrote: Hello, Putting something like this emacs*background:white emacs*foreground:black in the .Xdefault file is nice.
