Re: Dark faces

[Mark Eichin <eichin@cygnus.com>]

Was the change (some time between 5.2.7 and 5.2.10) for the dark
background to use:
	    ((eq gnus-background-mode 'dark)
	     `(((and (not mailp) (eq level 1)) .
		,(custom-face-lookup "LemonChiffon1" nil nil t))
	       ((and (not mailp) (eq level 2)) .

(namely LemonChiffon1..4 and aquamarine1..4) intended to force people
to learn how to use the customize code? :-) Those colors look rather
indistinct on a black background -- the original colors (ie. the ones
still listed in the texinfo file!) are much clearer to me...

Perhaps this is a difference in gamma-correction across displays
(since that's something X totally fails to handle...) and maybe it's
just my preference for primary colors... but these pastels are just
not very distinct.

(gnus is, of course, a wonderful thing, and color customization is
mostly a matter of opinion, so feel free to ignore me - I've got a
.custom.el set up now :-)
