It stand out very much. As I said early, the default cyan for escape glyphs is wonderful for me. Please suggest values for each of the most likely various color formats For example, (custom-set-faces '(escape-glyph ((((class color) (background dark)) (:foreground "cyan")))) '(escape-glyph ((((class color) (background light)) (:foreground "dark red"))))) Or perhaps custom themes could be generated from `custom-set-faces' expressions: one for green backgrounds, one for white backgrounds, one for blue backgrounds, etc., in X, something else for an audio desktop, and something else for the various consoles. (In my .emacs file, I set 98 different faces to various colors and heights. Weights, other than normal, don't work for me.) By the way, how do you list the complete contents of a theme? I could not find mention in the Emacs manual, the Emacs Lisp Reference manual, or with `help-for-help'. I know about `C-h v' (describe-variable), `list-colors-display', and `list-faces-display'. (Normally, I look in my .emacs file.) -- Robert J. Chassell bob@rattlesnake.com GnuPG Key ID: 004B4AC8 http://www.rattlesnake.com http://www.teak.cc
