True that. And I did mention that I could configure the GUI Emacs
version but having issues with terminal emacs.
What I was looking for, was the means to change various emacs -nw,
Emacs-nox parameters in just the terminal. And still looking for a
theme or a set of fonts/faces that would just assume 16 bit colour and
give a decent terminal interface emacs a bit of colour/fonts/faces.
I've pretty much given up on .X* configuration changes and decided to
look for configuration options in 1 place i.e .emacs
For GUI, I've gotten it down to
(when (window-system) ;; looks like this is deprecated
(setq default-frame-alist
'((top . 24) (left . 1) (width . 172) (height . 38)
(background-color . "DarkSlateGray")
(foreground-color . "Wheat")
(cursor-color . "Red")
(horizontal-scroll-bars . nil)
(vertical-scroll-bars . nil)
(font . "-outline-Cascadia
Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")
))
(setq initial-frame-alist
'((top . 24) (left . 1) (width . 172) (height . 38)))
(set-frame-font "-outline-Cascadia
Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1"))
And now want to set terminal Emacs along similar lines.
