How do I fix that?
I open xemacs and have lovely colors. I open a .c or .cpp file and cc-mode loads - lovely - but no color is displayed.
Installed emacs, version:
XEmacs 21.4 (patch 22) "Instant Classic" [Lucid] (x86_64-linux-gnu, Mule) of Mon Nov 21 2011 on allspice
Does something like this in your .emacs do the trick?
I haven't tested it in xemacs, but the basic idea ought to work, even if you have to tweak things a bit.
