* Why can't I (message (propertize "hello" ...)) ? @ 2002-12-18 21:46 Tom 2002-12-18 22:34 ` John Paul Wallington 2002-12-18 22:49 ` Jesper Harder 0 siblings, 2 replies; 3+ messages in thread From: Tom @ 2002-12-18 21:46 UTC (permalink / raw) Is there some restriction that prevents me from using text properties in messages that appear in the minibuffer? If so, does anyone know any hacks to get around it? I know I can paste text with properties into the minibuffer, so it can't be too serious... Thanks a lot! FYI, the code I'm trying is: (defun x () "" (interactive) (message (propertize "hello" 'face 'blue))) .. which displays the message hello, but without any properties. I've also tried imperatively updating the string with add-text-properties, which also doesn't work. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Is there a `blue' face? You can do M-x list-faces-display to see which faces are defined. -- John Paul Wallington ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

What you want is something like this: (message (propertize "hello" 'face '(foreground-color . "blue"))) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
