Set the Echo Area face via `face-remapping-alist`

Set the Echo Area face via `face-remapping-alist`

I wish to set the face of the Echo Area . Is there another face than the
default for this ? I browsed the C code, and have the feeling that it is
the global 'default face used for this. Can I make the default face local
to echo area ? Is there a hook called before entering echo area window ?

Perhaps should I change the face of the buffer #<buffer  *Echo Area 0*> ?

However, how can I change the face only a buffer with a given name using
face-remapping-alist ?

Not sure what you mean by that.

  (with-current-buffer (get-buffer " *Echo Area 0*")
    (setq-local face-remapping-alist ...))

Great idea. Thank you.

I did not notice that Echo Area is a permanent buffer, despite that it
appears all the time via (buffer-list).

I thought that it is killed all the time and re-created after /before each
print0 call...


I was going just now to insert some code in the start hook of
*fundamental-mode*, that checks the name of the new buffer, see if it is
"Echo Area ", etc.

:) I was on a wrong way . Thanks for the quick answer.
