For reasons which escape me, when I now open an emacs via SSH, it defaults to a color scheme of dark-green on light-green. Alt-X set-background-color has no effect, nor can I find ANYTHING in the documentation on setting defaults for colors.
I found some apparently relevant menu items once, but they didn't seem to work (I forget how -- it might just be that there were too many colour settings and I kept finding other colour settings that didn't have enough contrast). They didn't set the default, anyway.
You can use emacs from an xterm. If you set the DISPLAY= environment variable to empty, it uses the colours of the xterm.
Nope. It IS the color scheme (I think) in what comes up on an xterm when I open emacs, but the commands that configure its color there don't work for the SSH session.
