On my two machines, save options created the following ~/.emacs file (I
had none before using the option):
;; Options Menu Settings
;; =====================
(cond
((and (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version)
(boundp 'emacs-major-version)
(or (and
(= emacs-major-version 19)
(>= emacs-minor-version 14))
(= emacs-major-version 20))
(fboundp 'load-options-file))
(load-options-file "~/.xemacs-options")))
;; ============================
;; End of Options Menu Settings
I edited the file and inserted the lines form xemacs FAQ (6.3) how to
customise fonts (with minor modifications), so ~/.emacs looks like that:
;; Options Menu Settings
;; =====================
(cond
((and (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version)
(set-face-background 'default "bisque") ; frame background
(set-face-foreground 'default "black") ; normal text
(set-face-background 'zmacs-region "red") ; When selecting w/
; mouse
(set-face-foreground 'zmacs-region "yellow")
(set-face-font 'default "*fixed-bold-r*120-100-100*")
;; ^^^^^ font I want,
;; was courier in original
(set-face-size '14') ; << size I like
(set-face-background 'highlight "blue") ; Ie when selecting
buffers
(set-face-foreground 'highlight "yellow")
(set-face-background 'modeline "blue") ; Line at bottom of buffer
(set-face-foreground 'modeline "white")
(set-face-font 'modeline "*bold-r-normal*140-100-100*")
(set-face-background 'isearch "yellow") ; When highlighting while
; searching
(set-face-foreground 'isearch "red")
(setq x-pointer-foreground-color "black") ; Adds to bg color,
; so keep black
(setq x-pointer-background-color "blue") ; This is color you really
; want ptr/crsr
(boundp 'emacs-major-version)
(or (and
(= emacs-major-version 19)
(>= emacs-minor-version 14))
(= emacs-major-version 20))
(fboundp 'load-options-file))
(load-options-file "~/.xemacs-options")))
;; ============================
;; End of Options Menu Settings
I exited and restarted xemacs and it come up with the
options specified.
Hope this helps.
