I don't get it - why are you setting *both* fore- and background to nil? Won't that mean that text in that "face" can't be read? This is how I set all my faces. I don't like custom (in particular the fullbuffer UI) but that doesn't mean I can't use it in a way I like it, in my .emacs: (custom-set-faces ;;; DIRED '(dired-directory ((t (:foreground "blue" :bold t)))) '(dired-header ((t (:foreground "green" :bold t)))) '(dired-ignored ((t (:foreground "magenta" :bold nil)))) ; etc. ) If it is changed and evaluated, change is instantaneous. I don't know if this related to your question, though. -- Emanuel Berg, programmer-for-rent. CV, projects, etc at uXu underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
