[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

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

Closed as this doesn't look like an Emacs problem.
