I love to use Emacs in the reverse-video mode. It makes it much easier for me to see the Emacs display with my failing vision. I do have one problem though. The only way I know to get Emacs to start in this mode is to run it from the command line using the --reverse-video command line switch (or one of the various other command line switches that cause Emacs to start in this mode). This is fine except for when Emacs is launched via the VisEmacs Visual Studio add in. I cannot figure out how to make Emacs go into reverse-video mode by default. Is it possible to do this from my .emacs file or via an environment variable? If it is not possible, how can I add this capability to Emacs?
The "Display Vars" node of the manual suggests putting (setq inverse-video t) in your .emacs file. The "Colors X" node suggests putting emacs.reverseVideo:true in your .Xdefaults or .Xresources file, although I suspect Windows has some other mechanism (the registry?). Finally, startup.el and x-win.el indicate that the --reverse-video option simply does this: (setq default-frame-alist (cons (cons 'reverse t) default-frame-alist)) -- <a href="mailto:<kevinr@ihs.com>">Kevin Rodgers</a>
