================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I've been playing with starting an xemacs on a tty and then using make-frame-on-display to create an X11 one, but have been running into some fun coloration issues. If I explicitly specify colors as attached to frame-types, things work well: '(modeline ((((type x)) (:background "lightblue" :foreground "black")) (((type tty)) (:background "brightblue" :foreground "white"))) t) If I rely upon frame-background-type, the right thing does not happen. The colors are those of the original mode. (i.e. if the first frame is 'tty-frame (and I generally use a black background in a terminal) the background-type is dark.. My 'x-frames are light colored, and have a light background type. (get-frame-background-mode (get-frame-for-buffer (current-buffer))) returns appropriately on each evaluation even if the same buffer is displayed in two frames. A simple example of a mode that relys on light/dark is hyper-appros. '((((class color) (background light)) (:foreground "darkred")) (((class color) (background dark)) (:foreground "gray90"))) But sadly, it doesn't render the colors properly. HOW TO REPLICATE: xemacs -nw -q (custom-set-faces '(default ((((type x)) (:foreground "black" :background "white")) (((type tty)) (:foreground "white" :background "black"))) t) ) M-x make-frame-on-display :0.0 M-x hyper-appropos foo coloration in the Hyper-Appropos buffer is wrong, it's assuming a dark background instead of a light one. GUESS: It looks like the light/dark background REQ specifier (see defface) isn't matching properly. If I explicitly set frame-background-mode to light in a frame, and then execute a custom-set-faces... (custom-set-faces '(default ((((background light)) (:foreground "black" :background "white")) (((background dark)) (:foreground "white" :background "red" ))) t)) ... _all_ frames turn red, ignoring the background mode. Thanks! (I'm happy to poke at this more, if someone can suggest where to poke.) -R ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux bear 2.4.20-9 #1 Wed Apr 2 13:42:50 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ./configure '--prefix=/pkg/xemacs-21.4.13' '--cflags=-O3 -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -malign-double -mmmx -msse -msse2 -maccumulate-outgoing-args -minline-all-stringops -momit-leaf-frame-pointer' '--with-mule' XEmacs 21.4.13 "Rational FORTRAN" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
