cursor is always set black in emacsclient

[zariskij]

I just switched from Mint KDE to SolydK (which is basically Debian+KDE+customization). There is a strange problem with my emacsclient. My cursor color is set to black by default when using emacsclient frame.
The werid thing is that the cursor color is normal (white) in terminal emacsclient and non-client emacs, and it will be black no matter what cursor-color I set in init.el. I am able to set the color (M-x set-cursor-color) after a frame is created, but the cursor will be reset to black in new frames.
In addition, this is not a problem with my init file, since even when I delete the whole .emacs.d, the problem still remains.
Could anyone help? Thanks!

Alright.. This issue can be resolved by adding

(setq default-frame-alist '((cursor-color . "white")))

though I don't understand why it was not a problem before.

That's weird. Are you sure it's .emacs.d? In my emacs it's just .emacs.

Code: Select all

;;----- Cursor Color ----------
(set-cursor-color "#ad000c")

It's crimson.

Did you also noticed that the cursor is always set to non-blinking in GUI?
