The docs for these functions state clearly they change colors only for
the selected frame.
Below is a little function that changes values on all frames (current
and future ones), use it.
Ehud.
(defun set-frame-value-all (key val) ;; change frame attribute
(aput 'initial-frame-alist key val) ;; for ALL frames
(aput 'default-frame-alist key val)
(modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame) (list (cons key val))))
;; instead of (set-background-color "black") use:
(set-frame-value-all 'background-color "black")
;; instead of (set-foreground-color "black") use:
(set-frame-value-all 'foreground-color "black")
