Subject: 24.3.50; White background after loading a theme
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:48:29 +0100

When trying to load a dark background such as [0], [1] and the builtin
theme tango-dark, emacs reverts to a white background ("customize-face
RET default RET" tells me that Background has value "#ffffff"). I could
reproduce this behavior with emacs -q and load-ing the theme file, but
not with emacs -Q, where the same invocation gives the expected result.
Additional information has been collected in a recent discussion in the
emacs-help mailing list here[2].

It seems to me, after a brief testing session, that this[3] is be the
commit that causes this behavior. Reverting to a previous commit "fixes" this.

Hi Yidong,

Could you take a look at this?
Maybe my bug#16378 is related as well.

As additional input on this bug, it has been reported on the
emacs-help mailing list that a valid workaround is to (setq
inhibit-x-resources t) before any load-theme. Apparently, colors set
from X resources take precedence over whatever color the loaded theme
sets.
I don't know if this behavior is the desired one.

Regards,
Mattia
