Setting org-todo-keyword-faces

Setting org-todo-keyword-faces

[daniela-spit]

I would be grateful to know how I could make the following setup
more organised.

(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
   '(("TODO"        . (:background "black"   :foreground "red"
                       :weight bold))
     ("STARTED"     . (:background "black"   :foreground "magenta"
                       :weight bold))
     ("WAITING"     . (:background "magenta" :foreground "black"
                       :weight bold))
     ("FINALISE"    . (:background "magenta" :foreground "black"
                       :weight bold))
     ("DONE"        . (:background "orange"  :foreground "black"
                       :weight bold))
     ("CRITICAL"    . (:background "blak"    :foreground "red"
                       :weight bold))
     ("CR-STARTED"  . (:background "red"     :foreground "black"
                       :weight bold))
     ("CR-WAITING"  . (:background "red"     :foreground "black"
                       :weight bold))
     ("CR-FINALISE" . (:background "red"     :foreground "black"
                       :weight bold))
     ("CR-DONE"     . (:background "orange"  :foreground "black"
                       :weight bold)) ))

What is it you don't like about it?  The keywords?  Color scheme?  Code
declaration too long?  Or something else?

I have two sequences and I might add more

(setq org-todo-keywords
   '((seqeunce "TODO" "STARTED" "WAITING" "FINALISE" "|" "DONE")
     (sequence "CRITICAL" "CR-STARTED" "CR-WAITING" "CR-FINALISE"
                "|" "CR-DONE")  ))

When setting the colour faces, I would prefer if I can categarise
the sequences better.

I wonder how people manage multiple sequences.

Hm. For me it's tough to understand what you are after. I
get from your other mail that there are two sequences in
there. Their styles aren't "parallel" though.

You want more concise code? The lowest hanging fruit seems
to be the repeated :weight bold, then.

To try to get a hold on possible symmetries, I rearranged
things like so (rows are same background, columns same
foreground):

    | bg \ fg | red      | magenta | black       |
    |---------+----------+---------+-------------|
    | red     |          |         | CR-STARTED  |
    |         |          |         | CR-WAITING  |
    |         |          |         | CR-FINALISE |
    |---------+----------+---------+-------------|
    | magenta |          |         | WAITING     |
    |         |          |         | FINALISE    |
    |---------+----------+---------+-------------|
    | black   | TODO     | STARTED |             |
    |         | CRITICAL |         |             |
    |---------+----------+---------+-------------|
    | orange  |          |         | DONE        |
    |         |          |         | CR-DONE     |

Of the possible 12 combinations, only 5 are used (the diagonal
doesn't make much sense, for obvious reasons). Perhaps name those
five and give them faces? This would depend on whether you're
planning to fill that table more densely or not.

Surely you might make the list more compact with a function
or macro roughly doing

  (sty "black" "magenta") -> '(:background "black" :foreground "magenta"
                               :weight bold)

...but I don't know whether you're after this, either.

In a nutshell, I'm not sure about what you're up to.

Cheers

Table is interesting, have not looks at colour settings that way.

Yes, using a style of sorts.  I like it.

With two possible sequences, I first have to go through the first, before
I get to the second.  Is that customary or are there other ways?

Or, perhaps, using a face right away. AFAIK you can put faces in
there, too (as a symbol).

I don't understand. Do you mean whether `org-todo-keyword-faces' has
to be in some determinate order? I don't think so.
