Re: always white background in compiled emacs24

[David Belohrad]

Hi Fabrice,

IMHO this is not an issue of leuven theme. At the end I stay with leuven
even if I wanted to have something dark (btw: the theme is very
nice). The problem is, that all dark themes I have tried always result
in white background no matter what I do.

.d.
