This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I can't set background color - any change to :background results in bright white background and nothing else. I tried "black" and "#000000" to no avail. This applies at least to default-face and zmacs-region, probably to anything else. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- OS version: Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195] OS: Windows_NT XEmacs 21.4.6 \"Common Lisp (Windows)\" configured for `i586-pc-win32'.
