I noticed two changes to UI defaults in XEmacs 21.0. I'd like to know
if these are intentional changes or bugs, so I can update my Xdefaults
and Custom stuff accordingly.
The geometry on the initial frame is handled differently. I have the
following setting in my Xrdb database:
Emacs.geometry: 80x75-1+0
Note that I have all toolbars and menus turned off, and with 20.4,
this setting gives me an initial frame of 80x77 that just perfectly
fits on the screen vertically. With 21.0, the frame is two rows too
tall, so I have to change that geometry setting to 80x73 to end up
with an 80x77 frame.
Second, the background color on the modeline has changed to be the
same as the default face's background. Previously the default
background color on the modeline was a light shade of gray, which
provided better contrast to the default font background. This appears
easy enough to change with Custom (although the 3D effect doesn't seem
to be configurable, or track my change to the background). Also, the
foreground used to be Black.
If these changes are intentional, I'll just go ahead and update my
settings (conditionalizing on the XEmacs version makes things
interesting though).
Thanks,
