You seem to imply > some-"way" is missing. Can someone explain what is meant here? I meant "in hi-lock". More specifically, the current hi-lock lets you choose a face name, not a color. Since current face names include "hi-yellow", it ends up letting you choose a color, but if we rename them to something else, that removes this (indirect) ability to specify a color. Stefan
