[Mac-emacs-users] Background Color problems in New frames

[Steven T. <ste...@ma...>]

I've only been using Emacs 21 or Mac OS X for a little while, but I'm 
pretty far along in hacking it.  However, I'm having some trouble 
keeping my background color correct.  The behavior I'm seeing is that 
the background color for areas without text is white, regardless of what 
I specify in the default.  However the background color for areas with 
text is what I specify.  I'm not sure whether it's emacs 21 or specific 
to the mac.  It seems to only happen in newly created frames, and it 
goes away if I specifically call (set-background-color)

Here's the code I'm using to specify the frame parameters:

(cond ((eq window-system 'mac)
        (setq default-frame-alist
	     '((mouse-color . "midnightblue")
	       (foreground-color . "midnightblue")
	       (background-color . "antiquewhite1")))
        ))

Thanks for any help,
-Steven

Hi Steven,

Please try adding the line

  XClearWindow (FRAME_MAC_DISPLAY (f), FRAME_MAC_WINDOW (f));

just before the line

  expose_frame (f, 0, 0, 0, 0);

in the function do_window_update in the file macterm.c and see if that
solves the problem.

Andrew.

Steve, did it for you?  I just added that and did a make; sudo make
install; sudo ditto mac/Emacs.app /Applications/Emacs.app.  Background 
color in new frames still gets out of alignment.  I don't need to
do a make clean and recompile everything, do I?  I was testing it
with same setup, i.e.:

(cond
 ((eq window-system 'mac)
  (setq default-frame-alist
        '(;;(font . "-*-andale mono-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-mac-roman")
          ;;(font . "-*-courier-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-mac-roman")
          (font . "-*-monaco-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-mac-roman")
          (mouse-color . "midnightblue")
          (foreground-color . "midnightblue")
          (background-color . "antiquewhite1")))))

I was also fiddling with the fonts.  Playing with the font selector
for the Terminal app it *seems* like I should be able to try that
"andale mono" one, but Emacs sure doesn't like it.  This is from a
CVS update (from HEAD) last night.  I *thought* the latest font
stuff was added to macterm.c, but not sure.

He sent a fix a while earlier.  I'll try to post that to the list
later today.
