Actually I'm very picky with my colors! I call my color scheme "Orange Sunshine" after ALD-52. Nah, I just made that up :) http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/dumps/faces-2.png (pnmtopng: 12 colors found) However I'm unsure if more colors (higher number of different colors) actually make it more colorful or if it is like 11 watching down meters - up and till ~11 m, it gets scarier and scarier, but above that, one can add a hundred meters just as well and it doesn't get any more scary! Background colors are perhaps just what is underpowered tho, at least I didn't use them that much, so perhaps that is indicative too heavy-handed to be useful... > It may be a rare combination overall, > counting all users of Emacs together. Plus, who cares if just one user wants it as long as he (she?? colors) is the one who does it? It is always like that. Well, sometimes you wish it weren't like that, but put it this way, it is good that it *can* be like that! > But, for a user who likes seeing the current > line highlighted at all times and also wants > to highlight CSS colors, it’s going to be > pretty frequent.
