Subject: Message faces
Date: 10 Nov 1997 09:17:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <kigwwihcgcs.fsf@jagor.srce.hr> (raw)
I have finally succumbed the temptation, and started using XEmacs with
a dark background (in fact, a dark background pixmap.) I noticed that
some of the message faces are totally unreadable on dark backgrounds
-- specifically `message-separator-face' and
`message-header-other-face'.
Now, I am aware of the standard explanation that they (especially
message-separator-face') are dark so they don't draw your attention,
etc. but too much is too much. The `--text follows this line--'
string *is* here to be read, after all.
In the spirit of other faces, I've set the foreground color of
`message-header-other-face' to "#b00000", and `message-separator-face'
to "blue3". They are still sufficiently dark, but not totally
unreadable. How about changing the defaults?
Comments?
