Different faces / background for read-only buffers

Different faces / background for read-only buffers

[Gary]

I was sure I had asked this before, but a quick look at the threads
suggests not.

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

I'm using emacs-nox, if it makes any difference.

Have you looked into buffer-face-mood and view-mode-hook?

Do you mean buffer-face-mode? I can't find buffer-face-mood.

Apparently Le thought you were mocking him and added you to his "killfile".

I think Le did mean buffer-face-mode.

Ah well, there are fuckwits the world over. And yeah, I know it's not
nice to mock the afflicted, especially behind their backs. /slaps own wrist
