Subject: Changing color of transient mark
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:37:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lhk4jnuz.fsf@engels.histomat.net> (raw)

I'm running emacs 24.4.1, and the transient mark color is a very dark
blue. This makes the highlighted text hard to read.

Id like to redefine the background color something like this:

  ((transient-mark-mode 1)
    (set-background-color "mistyrose")
    (set-foreground-color "firebrick"))

but of course this does not work. Short of running PC mode, how can I
change at least the highlighting background color?
