Hi folks, I'm a bit puzzled with color-lighten-name... This simple code: (require 'color) (let ((newbg "#102030")) (message "newbg: %s" newbg) (setq newbg (color-lighten-name newbg 10)) (message "newbg: %s" newbg)) evaluated in the *scratch* buffer. will print the following: newbg: #102030 newbg: #11ab23563501 Shouldn't the second colour spec have only 3 bytes? Thanks for any enlightenment, because the docstrings are frugal /PA -- Fragen sind nicht da um beantwortet zu werden, Fragen sind da um gestellt zu werden Georg Kreisler Headaches with a Juju log: unit-basic-16: 09:17:36 WARNING juju.worker.uniter.operation we should run a leader-deposed hook here, but we can't yet
