C.12 Other Display Options

‘--parent-id id’

Open Emacs as a client X window via the XEmbed protocol, with id as the parent X window id. Currently, this option is mainly useful for developers.

‘-vb’

‘--vertical-scroll-bars’

Enable vertical scroll bars.

‘-lsp pixels’

‘--line-spacing=pixels’

Specify pixels as additional space to put between lines, in pixels.

‘-nbc’

‘--no-blinking-cursor’

Disable the blinking cursor on graphical displays.

‘-D’

‘--basic-display’

Disable the menu-bar, the tool-bar, the scroll-bars, tool tips, and turn off font-lock-mode and the blinking cursor. This can be useful for making a test case that simplifies debugging of display problems.
