It's not just in mythology that knowing a things true name gives you power over it. Thanks. I thought I wanted to match the fringe and default background colors, but now that I've played with it a little bit, I think I'll try slightly different colors to give a subtle boundary. Black next to blue made a jarring boundary. >> I thought it might be something like (setq border-color "red"), but >> this doesn't change the display at all. > > Haha, you just made a wild guess? No, apropos RET border RET told me that there was something called border- color, but looking again, I see it's not a variable so setq doesn't make sense. There was some method to my flailing. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
