For a ``Mandraky'' look I use:

(defvar current-background "DarkSlateGray")
(defvar current-cursor "Orchid")
(defvar current-foreground "Wheat")

(set-background-color current-background)
(set-cursor-color current-cursor)
(set-foreground-color current-foreground)

(set-default-font current-font)
(setq default-frame-alist
      (list
       (cons 'font current-font)
       (cons 'background-color current-background)
       (cons 'cursor-color current-cursor)
       (cons 'foreground-color current-foreground)))

(setq initial-frame-alist default-frame-alist)

Cordially, Ismael
