colors fun

[Maciej Matysiak]

hejka,

i   started to  play   with colors in  gnus.  everything  is very easy
configurable,  but i   have  one problem:  how  to  set  the color  of
background not covered by  text? (i don't  use customization, just put
manually everything in my .gnus, you can take a look at it at:
 http://phoner.blah.pl/Texts/dotgnus.txt).
if you can't see the problem, look at:
 http://phoner.blah.pl/Pics/gnus-group-mycolors.gif
ugly, isn't it? ;)

basically, i use something like:
 (set-face-foreground 'gnus-group-news-1-empty-face "red")
 (set-face-foreground 'gnus-group-news-1-face "red")
 (set-face-background 'gnus-group-news-1-empty-face "darkorange")
 (set-face-background 'gnus-group-news-1-face "orange")
but there's no something like "set-background" or similar. what should 
i look for? any hints (and code :)) are welcome.

m.m.

XEmacs 20.4:

C-h f set-face-background RET

`set-face-background' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
  -- loaded from "faces.elc"
(set-face-background FACE COLOR &optional LOCALE TAG-SET HOW-TO-ADD)

Change the background of the given face.

As you can see, Maciej is *already* using set-face-background, but
this does not set the background to the right of the text.  Look at
the gif, it shows you what's wrong.

I think you can only set the default background to something more
useful.  I do that using X resources: Emacs*Background.

*blush* If I had opened my eyes, that is.

The download timed out for me, but I think I know what you mean.

Hmm, how does w3 do it? It sets the whole window's background color?

I don't know about how w3 does it, but in XEmacs you can do something
like this:

    (set-face-background 'default "HotPink" (current-buffer))
