My emacs looks ugly and weird with 2 colors in the background.
It
looks like "light cyan" everywhere, except "ivory" which is
under and
near text lines. Not sure how that is controlled. How do I fix
this
... ivory would probably ok.
Some windowing environment may be attempting to overlay it's idea
of
your desktop "theme" on to Emacs.
From the Emacs Wiki:
I am using KDE. I found my emacs was colored in a strange way
no
matter how I changed the background and foreground settings in
my
.Xdefaults. I tried all methods I could think of, including
deleting
my .emacs, changing the font, recustomizing my KDE environment
through the KDE control center. But without luck.
For KDE 2.1.2, I found the option called ‘Apply fonts and
colors to
non-KDE apps’ in ‘/Look and Feel/Style’ in the control center.
Disable it. Then logout and log in. Everything becomes fine.
