And I felt that the visual feedback is too strong. I agree. To emphasize the part that is not informative is not a useful feature. Please do not think in terms of any single characteristic such as `bold'. Not everyone uses the same monitor you do. I never use bold because it looks bad on the monitor I mostly use. Instead for isearch-lazy-highlight-face, I put the color "blue" in the background. For a compilation highlight face, I would use the color "green" or some other color. Different faces in different contexts. Thank you. -- Robert J. Chassell Rattlesnake Enterprises http://www.rattlesnake.com GnuPG Key ID: 004B4AC8 http://www.teak.cc bob@rattlesnake.com
