Mandrake has had a colored custom theme as long as I can remember. For Emacs, read the manual it comes with as you can configure the looks there by hand. But here is something to help you get started:

emacs -bg green -fg orange

That may be off a bit because I don't use it much, but that should work, if not, try -- bg and so on.

That doesnt work . It only changes the color where letters exist. I have tried to change the face options followed the emacs manual , but it is the same, I think maybe it has something with the GTK settings(as Gvim and emacs-X11 use GTK modules). I am not sure ..

Are you using KDE? If so, then I will hazard a guess that you have the rpm gtk-qt-engine installed. If so, try uninstalling it. I had the same problem with the GTK build of CVS Emacs under KDE, and removing that rpm solved it. The price you pay is that you don't get the KDE window styles with Emacs. But the colors work. (This issue was reported to the CVS Emacs bug list some time ago, but to date hasn't been fixed.) If this solves (or rather, works around) your problem, feel free to post it to the SLE mailing list, so that it might help others.
