Highlighted buttons in article mode

Highlighted buttons in article mode

[Emanuel Berg]

Can I get the buttons in Article mode not to be highlighted? I like
them not to be, as I'd like them the same as the buttons of rmail and
the Emacs Help, but (unlike those) when I set the face to one that
isn't bold (I tried to just copy the face of "button" to that of
gnus-button), they're highlighted (bright) just the same. I don't know
why.

`M-x describe-char' where you see the offending highlighting.  That
should tell you what face to customize.

Correct! `describe-char' revealed it is `widget-button' I should
configure, not `gnus-button'. Perhaps some inheritance issue? The
reason I tried with `gnus-button' is that that was the answer I
got with the below function to detect face. Perhaps it is not
reliable?

(defun what-face (pos)
  (interactive "d")
  (let ((face (or (get-char-property (point) 'read-face-name)
                  (get-char-property (point) 'face))))
    (if face (message "Face: %s" face)
      (message "No face at %d." pos) )))

I think the buttons are converted to widget buttons at some point...
