Since October of 2007 I've fought an ever losing battle against emacs.
I want to be able to see the words on the screen. Either black words
on a white screen or white words on a black screen.
I'm finally defeated. My last stand had been, for the past few years,
to always type ESC-x text-mode every time I started emacs to make the
screen readable. But now, at my new job running 21.4.1 the colors
remain even in text mode.
Back in 2007 I did (global-font-lock-mode 0), but that stopped working
years ago. I added (defun turn-on-font-lock () "Turn off Font Lock
mode because it sucks." (global-font-lock-mode 0)) to keep it from
happened, but that doesn't do anything anymore. I tried (setq
font-lock-maximum-size -1) and (setq font-lock-maximum-size 0) and
(setq font-lock-maximum-size 1) but none of those helped. For my
frequently used mode I tried (add-hook 'python-mode-hook (lambda ()
(global-font-lock-mode nil))) and (add-hook 'python-mode-hook (lambda
() (font-lock-mode nil))) but that didn't work. I had been using
--color=no on the command line, which didn't really work either, and
which no longer exists.
And now that ESC-x text-mode doesn't work anymore I'm stumped. What
on earth do I have to do to turn off colors? Why is this so hard?
What am I missing?
