But it would break other people's customizations as well. Do you really think that would affect a lot of people negatively? I don't. I think that most users of hl-line (both of them ;-)) will appreciate having a face to customize. From: Richard Stallman, Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 2:52 AM Subject: Re: hl-line-face should be a face, not an option It would be better to define a face `hl-line' than to have option `hl-line-face', whose value must be an existing face. I agree. Would someone please do that, and then ack? I apologize for sending two different bug reports, since this one addresses both problems - sorry you went to the trouble of trying to fix only the other one. This is the better way to go, IMO.
