thx again for the answer but it dosent see to work here: https://paste.xinu.at/KlvP/ this is what i have in my config: (setq org-tag-faces '( ("mru" :inherit org-done :box nil :underline t :height 1.2) ("Fav" :foreground "blue" :box nil :underline t :height 1.2))) i restarted emacs but still see fav as a regular tag with out a foreground of blue etc any ideas what im doing wrong? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ATTACH tag is automatically added when I attach a file to a headline (see Attachments in the org-mode manual [[info:org#Attachments]]). It's the only tag I like to change appearance and thus I used it as an example. But the same procedure should work with other tags. A very important detail is that you need to restart Emacs. In the documentation of org-tag-faces it says "If you set it with Lisp, a restart of Emacs is required to activate the changes." Therefore, put something like the code below in your initialization file and restart Emacs and it should work --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-tag-faces '( ("SomeTag" :inherit org-done :box nil :underline t :height 1.2) ("SomeOtherTag" :foreground "blue" :box nil :underline t :height 1.2))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I think that the tags don't need to be in org-tag-alist for this to work.
