AFAIR, I did not change anything else (apart > from having recently installed Emms, but I don't suspect this is to > blame). Is it possible that Icicles has something to do with this? Sounds like you have Dired+ in your `load-path'. If it is thus available then Icicles will load it, since Icicles can take advantage of Dired+ features. If you don't like the Dired+ highlighting, here are two solutions: 1. Move `dired+.el' out of your `load-path', to a different directory. Or delete it entirely, if you never use it. 2. Customize Dired+. You can easily change (e.g. lower) the highlighting (font-lock) level. And you can customize the faces etc. > Another is that Icicles seem to be substantially slower than Ido. > (Not that it bothers me a lot.) As I mentioned, there are things you can change, to change this. By default, Icicles does a lot of things, providing additional info as feedback, incrementally updating things, including input mismatches, etc. You can turn all of this off, and you can generally turn it on/off on the fly. See the doc. Start with `C-#' (and `C-M-#', if you use `icomplete-mode'). See option `icicle-highlight-input-completion-failure'. See=20 http://www.emacswiki.org/Icicles_-_Large_Candidate_Sets. Etc.
