Hello,
Some time ago, on Windows (maybe that's a diff inserted by EmacsW32?), I had
the questions appearing in the echo area in color (orange). That made them
stand up over the rest, and was a good thing on big screens (where we
sometimes don't easily see questions appearing in the bottom).
Though, I don't find how to setup such a thing in my Emacs 23 on Ubuntu 10.04.
Any hint?
Best regards,
Seb

(read-from-minibuffer "Question? ") C-x C-e C-b C-b C-b M-x customize-face RET
doesn't give a specific face.
(read-from-minibuffer "Question? ") C-x C-e C-b C-b C-b M-: (face-at-point) RET
indicates it's the default face that's used.
Therefore you could advice read-from-minibuffer to temporarily modify
the default face and set it to orange, and reset it when done (use unwind-protect).

The face you want is minibuffer-prompt
Try M-x customize-face <ret> minibuffer-prompt <ret>
Note that the list-faces-display is a useful command to list all the
currently defined faces. You can see examples of each face and using the
mouse or enter key, show the face definition or pull up a customize
buffer for a specific face.

Thank you very much for your answers. That works perfectly!
