Hello,

I have the following problem with Emacs in a terminal (emacs -nw)

This configuration does works (red over transparent background)

(global-whitespace-mode t)
(set-face-background 'whitespace-space nil)
(set-face-foreground 'whitespace-space "red")

This one does not work (the background is grey):
(global-whitespace-mode t)
(set-face-attribute 'whitespace-space nil :background nil :foreground "red")

However, it should be the same, right?

Interestingly, it works with eval-region though.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Kip
