@ -414,6 +414,22 @@ about using Emacs as a daemon. A ``background'' daemon disconnects
from the terminal and runs in the background (@samp{--daemon} is an
alias for @samp{--bg-daemon}).
@vindex server-after-make-frame-hook
@cindex customizations don't work in daemon sessions
If you have in your init file (@pxref{Init File}) customizations that
need various capabilities available only on graphic displays, or
activate there optional features which need such capabilities, like
colors, mouse, fonts, etc., such customizations might not work when you
start Emacs as a daemon, because the daemon lacks access to a capable
display. Instead, define a Lisp function which performs all those
customizations, and then use @code{add-to-list} to add that function to
the list that is the value of the hook variable
@code{server-after-make-frame-hook} (@pxref{Init Examples}). Then these
customizations will be run by Emacs after it creates a frame when you
invoke @command{emacsclient}. (You will probably need to arrange for
these customizations to run only once, the first time a client frame is
created.)
