That was the very first thing I tried, there is a small program I posted where it didn't worked, few days ago. I get though some colors, but very little. Since then I have tried to activate org mode in that buffer but still with same result. I probably misunderstand how it works. Do I need to activate theme engine too for that buffer or is it done automatically? -------- Originalmeddelande -------- Från: Stefan Monnier Datum: 2020-12-01 17:02 (GMT+01:00) Till: Arthur Miller Kopia: emacs-devel@gnu.org Ämne: Re: Is this possible/how do I? > The buffer does not seem to be font-locked despite major mode (org-mode) > enabled in that buffer.
