This is a bug, but I don't yet know how it will be fixed. The problem is that the images in the toolbar are instantiated with an opaque background, and cached. So the toolbar background is changed, it's just hidden by the button background. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.

APA> Hi Joachim, use [Set] to activate a change in the active XEmacs APA> session, [Save] to make the customization persist across sessions. No, [Set] does definitively _not_ update that specific change in the active XEmacs session. That's what I wrote above, I tried [Set]ting the toolbar face background before I asked on xemacs-beta. (That this obvious solution did not work actually triggered my email.) Only when I wanted to create an minimal error case for Stephen I discovered that [Save] and restarting XEmacs works. As Stephen confirmed, this is not easy to change, as one seems to need full re-initialization and cache-invalidation of toolbar buttons for [Set] to work. Maybe one should mention that in the doc string of face toolbar, as long as it doesn't work?
