Any suggestions? Yes, I think the general idea in this discussion is to use a `subdued' face, instead of an attention-getting face. I've tried different fg colors, including mediumseagreen, slateblue4 and firebrick, and now I'm using saddlebrown. But I haven't inverted the meaning of the face, yet. Maybe after inversion, some greyish color might be suitable? kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
