There's a whole bunch of things that can have a colour when customising a face -- like stipple background/foreground, overline, etc. I don't know whether it makes sense to special-case just the (main) background colour... but perhaps that does make sense, because it's a pretty common thing to customise. And showing the colour as a background colour would give a more correct impressions. But might be confusing if that one thing behaved differently than the rest. Anybody have an opinion here? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
