gnus-group-highlight

[Dr. Pete Gieser]

Can someone explain to me how to configure this?  At present group names
are dark green on a dark background.

i've set mine to:

(setq gnus-group-highlight `(((> unread 99) . ,(custom-face-lookup "OrangeRed" nil nil nil nil nil))
			     ((> unread 19) . ,(custom-face-lookup "PaleGreen" nil nil nil nil nil))))

that makes groups with 20 or more messages show up green, and groups
with more 100 or more show up red.  except for not coloring
unsubscribed groups differently, this gives the same results as joe
h's old font-lock keywords for the group buffer, which i'd kinda
gotten used to.

It's hard to find defaults that work on all display types.  But there
is no separate grayscale support planned, no.

Is there going to be any support for those with a grayscale monitor. I have
been using Gnus on both a color and grayscale screen, but the colors I have
are not very nice on the grayscale screen and vica versa.

Kind regards,

Kees.

here's what i use:

(setq gnus-group-highlight `(((> unread 99) . ,(custom-face-lookup "OrangeRed" nil nil nil nil nil))
			     ((> unread 19) . ,(custom-face-lookup "PaleGreen" nil nil nil nil nil))))

all groups are white by detault (dark background) - green if they've
got 20 or more message, and red if they've got 100 or more.  tells me
the info i want to know...

I'm currently using a scheme based on subscription levels with
relative shading indicating the level and distinct colors between mail
& Usenet groups.  It looks like this: (against XEmacs 19.14 beta).
	http://www.miranova.com/~steve/gnus-topics.gif

These are probably not optimum colors, but it has ``fruit salad''
coloring, which I like.

(setq gnus-group-highlight
      (cond 
       ((not (eq gnus-display-type 'color))
	'((mailp . bold)
	  ((= unread 0) . italic)))
       ((eq gnus-background-mode 'dark)
	`(((not mailp) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "ForestGreen" nil nil t nil nil))
	  ((zerop unread) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "Blue" nil nil t nil nil))))
       (t
	`(
	  ((and (not mailp) (<= level 3)) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "ForestGreen" nil nil t nil nil))
	  ((and (not mailp) (eq level 4)) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "DarkGreen" nil nil t nil nil))
	  ((and (not mailp) (eq level 5)) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "Red" nil nil t nil nil))
	  ((and (eq (car method) 'nnml) (eq level 1)) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "DeepPink3" nil nil t nil nil))
	  ((and (eq (car method) 'nnml) (eq level 2)) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "HotPink3" nil nil t nil nil))
	  ((and (eq (car method) 'nnml) (eq level 3)) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "dark magenta" nil nil t nil nil))
	  ((and (eq (car method) 'nnml) (eq level 4)) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "DeepPink4" nil nil t nil nil))
	  ((and (eq (car method) 'nnml) (> level 4)) .
	   ,(custom-face-lookup "DarkOrchid4" nil nil t nil nil))
))))

gnus-group-highlight

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

I've now moved the definition of this variable to gnus-cus.el so that
you can use custom to, uhm, customize it.  However, the defaults are
rather boring, especially the ones using light backgrounds:

	     `(((not mailp) .
		,(custom-face-lookup "ForestGreen" nil nil t nil nil))
	       ((zerop unread) .
		,(custom-face-lookup "Blue" nil nil t nil nil))))))

That's just two (2) different colors.  In fact, I think this was
something I wrote as a test when I did the group highlighting code. 

Does anybody have a nicer value for this that they'd like to
contribute?  The variables you have to play with include:

group: The name of the group.
unread: The number of unread articles in the group.
method: The select method used.
mailp: Whether it's a mail group or not.
level: The level of the group.
score: The score of the group.
ticked: The number of ticked articles.
