Background for picons

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

Is there a way to give picons a white or grey background?

Tschö,
Torsten.

I'd have guessed that the face `gnus-picon'[1] is what you're looking
for.  But apparently this face is never used.

Adding `(gnus-put-text-property ... 'face 'gnus-picon)' in
`gnus-picon-insert-glyph' indeed modifies the face, but later gets
overridden by some other face.  I couldn't quickly figure out were it
gets overridden.  Any ideas?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun gnus-picon-insert-glyph (glyph category)
  "Insert GLYPH into the buffer.
GLYPH can be either a glyph or a string."
  (if (stringp glyph)
      (insert glyph)
    (gnus-add-wash-type category)
    (gnus-add-image category (car glyph))
    (gnus-put-image (car glyph) (cdr glyph) category)
    (gnus-put-text-property (- (point) (length (cdr glyph))) (point)
			    'face 'gnus-picon)
    (sit-for 1)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Bye, Reiner.

[1] or `gnus-picon-face' before Miles' recent »Remove "-face" suffix
    from face name.« changes.
