subjects too dim

subjects too dim

[jidanni]

Dear sirs, SeaGreen3 is too dim a color for me to read subjects with
ease. (customize-face (quote (gnus-header-subject))) does not give me
a menu to pick a different color. There is only a check mark one can
toggle. Perhaps one might provide me with a method for .gnus.el.

(add-hook
 'gnus-startup-hook
 '(lambda ()
    (require 'gnus-art)
    (defface gnus-header-subject
      '((((class color)... does not work either.

In dark background mode?  Fixed in the cvs to SeaGreen1 last May I think.

(custom-set-faces '(gnus-header-subject ((t (:foreground "yellow" :bold t)))))

is what I use.

As already pointed out by Kevin, the colors have been adjusted:

Gnus uses the standard Emacs `defface' function.  If customize-face
doesn't work as you expect, report it to the Emacs developers.

Bye, Reiner.

Cool, I added
RA> (custom-set-faces '(gnus-header-subject ((t (:foreground "yellow" :bold t)))))
Me> (custom-set-faces '(message-header-subject ((t (:foreground "yellow" :bold t)))))
to .gnus.el and like all is well. Plus I avoided a dreaded
encounter/confrontation with the "easy customization interface"!
