User-agent: |
Alpine 2.21 (LFD 202 2017-01-01) |
GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.30) of
2018-06-26
I have set the Xresource *reverseVideo to true, and as expected emacs
reverses the colours when launched under X, and does not when launched
with -nw thus keeping the terminal colour selections.
However emacsclient obeys the Xresources even when launched with -nw. This
leads to colour reversal in text mode, which is unwanted since the xterm
has already been configured as desired.
It seems the reason is that emacs-server loads the Xresources and sets
some internal state that instructs all new emacsclient instances to
reverse colours, regardless of them being an X client app or not.
A very quick way to reproduce and see the different behaviour of emacs and
emacsclient is to run the following commands:
emacs -xrm 'emacs*reverseVideo: true' --exec \
'(progn (setq server-name "reverseVideo_TRUE_server")
(server-start)
(insert server-name))' &
emacs -xrm 'emacs*reverseVideo: false' --exec \
'(progn (setq server-name "reverseVideo_FALSE_server")
(server-start)
(insert server-name))' &
sleep 2
xterm -e emacsclient -nw -s reverseVideo_TRUE_server &
xterm -e emacsclient -nw -s reverseVideo_FALSE_server &
