Hey folks,
I've gotten far enough w/ gnus label that I think it's completely
feasible but I'm wondering how I should expose the user customizable
stuff and how I should integrate with gnus-summary-highlight. It's
ugly (and also the most complicated elisp I've done) and I'm going to
spend a good bit of time cleaning up the failed experiments.
(defconst gnus-label-alist '((?i . '("Important" "darkred"))
(?w . '("Work" "darkblue"))
(?t . '("Todo" "darkgreen"))
(?l . '("Later" "brown4"))
(?f . '("Fun" "purple4")))
"Alist of label names to key mappings")
I've created a new gnus-summary-highlight-line that includes
label-name and label-face as entries that can be used in
gnus-summary-highlight. Would it be better to override
gnus-summary-highlight-line-function? I couldn't find a good hook to
do that from and I didn't really know what gnus-tree was supposed to
be doing with that function.
Right now I have a list of labels with a color and the faces get
generated automatically. Would people prefer to just give a face name
proper? I was trying to make it so that I only had to configure
gnus-label in one spot so I could avoid having to defface each time I
added a new category. I'm struggling with a good way to make marks &
labels cooperate.
Thanks,
Chris

Of course I forgot to say where you could could see the code:

IMHO, you could consider using my gnus-highlight mode instead (or an
extension to it). It makes face customization trivial and
partial-line highlighting (IE, you could tell it to just highlight a
particular field which indicated the label in question).

Hrm. I do like the way you configure face colors..
What I need to be able to do is get the current article id from a
particular point in the summary buffer. I could let the def in the
mapcar in highlight-line-by-expression also accept forms and do that
customization there. Are you thinking of something else?
Another thing I hadn't thought of yet was putting the label directly
in the summary line which should be pretty simple

This is my signature. There are many like it but this one is mine.

Well, `(gnus-summary-article-number)' will return the article number,
if that's what you mean, but I'm probably misunderstanding. :-)

Or you could put some text properties on the line, if that helps.
(But it's kinda slow.)

How about accepting both? If stringp assume it's a color, otherwise...
