Good point. Would it be worthwhile to have different versions of the logo selected the same way the citation faces are? Perhaps the xpm-color-symbol variable can be of some use here. xpm-color-symbols's value is (("foreground" (face-foreground (quote default))) ("background" (face-background (quote default))) ("backgroundToolBarColor" (x-get-resource "backgroundToolBarColor" "BackgroundToolBarColor" (quote string)))) Documentation: Definitions of logical color-names used when reading XPM files. Elements of this list should be of the form (COLOR-NAME FORM-TO-EVALUATE). The COLOR-NAME should be a string, which is the name of the color to define; the FORM should evaluate to a `color' specifier object, or a string to be passed to `make-color-instance'. If a loaded XPM file references a symbolic color called COLOR-NAME, it will display as the computed color instead. The default value of this variable defines the logical color names "foreground" and "background" to be the colors of the `default' face. -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.
