RE: How change color of 1. "mouse dragged" text & 2. mode line text????

Chris,

I am sorry I don't know the answer to your question.  The only thing
that I can tell you is that I do not have a default-frame-alist in my
.emacs or any other file that it loads.  That may have something to do
with the difference.  Perhaps someone on this list can provide some
insight.

Thanks again! I tried your commands and now it looks great!!!
Actually, your commands worked *better* than I imagined they
*could* and I wanted to ask a question about that if you don't mind....

All of my color settings had to be put into "default-frame-alist"
so that they showed up in *all* windows/modes/etc.....

(setq default-frame-alist 
   '((cursor-color . "red") (background-color . "black")
(foreground-color . "khaki")) )

However, YOUR commands seem to be universal without having
to be stuffed into an "alist" like above.  How come Emacs
likes your color commands and makes them universal but
my commands like "background-color" are not universal if
I set them with set- command like you did?????
