Hello!

I have a question and I don't know if it is an emacs question or a
FreeBSD one.  

I wish to change the background window color of my emacs window to
some sort of blue.

I've tried:

        (set-face-foreground (internal-get-face 'region t) "red")
        (set-face-background (internal-get-face 'region t) "MidnightBlue")

But that sets the region color, not the standard default colors.

If I use 'default' instead of 'region', then just the default text's
background color is changed, instead of the window itself.

Any help at all would be appriciated.

Thanks - Chuck
