Have you looked into buffer-face-mood and view-mode-hook?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 4:01 PM, Gary <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:help-gnu-emacs@garydjones.name">help-gnu-emacs@garydjones.name</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Is there any way of configuring things such that read-only buffers are<br>
displayed in a different colour scheme? Either by changing the<br>
background or, in the worst case, by using the faces that are used (I&#39;m<br>
particularly interested in buffers using a homegrown mode, but would<br>
prefer a general solution).<br>

I&#39;m using emacs-nox, if it makes any difference.<br>
