I could care less that my modeline is black. In fact, I kind of like it. The only real complaint with the black background is that the top and left borders are darker than the bottom and right, which make it look depressed (except when depressed, where it looks raised). Also, the black modeline has unreadable text. -- Colin

toolbar picks up -bg 27 years

Andy Piper

Now I understand Kyle's intent a little more clearly. here is a patch to reinstate -bg behaviour. This has the advantage that if you set attributeBackground for the default face the modeline will still pick up the background spec. I'm still not sure this fixes BillP's problem but we'll see. andy 1998-06-15 Andy Piper <andyp(a)parallax.co.uk> * x-faces.el: default gui-element face to "background" as well as the default face. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- " .sigs are like your face - rarely seen by you and uglier than you think" Dr Andy Piper, Technical Architect, Parallax Solutions Ltd mail: andyp(a)parallax.co.uk web: www.parallax.co.uk/~andyp

dark background, unreadable modeline 27 years

Colin Rafferty

Am I the only one? My background is black, and the default selected colors for fontification is fine. However, the modeline colors are unreadable. This is what I see: I see in modeline.el that the colors are hard-coded, and not dependent on the frame's background type. I converted these to defcustom, but I ended up without colors, I guess because the modeline faces are created before the initial frame, so the `(class color)' part fails. I'm not sure how to go about fixing this, but I know that jwz (and others) will bitch about this. And they will be right. Maybe if we changed the colors to something that would look good on a black brackground and the default background. But I can't find any good colors for that. -- Colin

[Success] "Swedish Landrace" on DU 4.0D with cc and CDE support 27 years

Kevin Oberman

Digital UNIX V4.0D with xpm, CDE, JPEG, compression, ... Built with no problems. Looks good. DnD seems to work, although I want to test more completely. I can drag a file into the XEmacs frame, but attempts to drop into the icon failed. Small note: If I build with the -std1 option which enforces strict ANSI compliance, I get a LARGE number of errors and the load fails with unresolved symbols. Most add. The build must be with CFLAGS=-O2. Not a significant problem, just something I thought I'd note. I can provide a list of errors (HUGE) seen with -std1 on request. R.

Compared to the XEmacs tarball, EFS and mail-lib are still ridiculously small. What's the case against distributing (the current versions of) EFS and mail-lib with the tarball?

-batch loads site-start.el 27 years

Glynn Clements

Is `xemacs -batch' supposed to load site-start.el? This caused a (minor) problem when building, due to an error in my site-start.el file (expecting emacs-beta-version to be an integer). It would seem (to me) more logical for -batch to imply -vanilla. -- Glynn Clements <glynn(a)sensei.co.uk>

emacs.c does not compile under b44. The problem is that EMACS_BETA_VERSION is defined as "" and therefore the make_int fails in emacs.c. I do not have access to diff right now, so I have included the portion of xemacs.mak that must change. [1] Hope this helps someone.
