You can use initial-frame-alist and default-frame-alist as in:

  (setq initial-frame-alist '(
;•      (font . "fontset-global")
        (tool-bar-lines         . 0)
        (menu-bar-lines         . 2)
        (border-color           . "gold1")
        (cursor-color           . "turquoise1")
        (mouse-color            . "purple3")
        (foreground-color       . "DarkCyan")
        (background-color       . "antiquewhite1")
        (vertical-scroll-bars   . right)
        (internal-border-width  . 5)
        (top  . 10) (left . 625) (width . 80) (height . 50)
        ))

Of course you need to uncomment and substitute the values on the  
first and second lines. And others too ...

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists  
solutions
are things that are still all mixed up.
