Re: Problem with colors in emacs

[Greg Hill]

Dimitar,

Try using M-x customize to set the value of your Default face (under 
Faces, Basic Faces) to white on black, and save it for future 
sessions.  This will put something like

(custom-set-faces
 '(default ((t (:foreground "white" :background "black")))))

in your .emacs file.
