In certain cases I can modify a the individual color value, such as in the eshell prompt, but I would like to perform a global modification of the 'dark blue' color to be, say, bright yellow. I build emacs from sources so if this has to be done in the C sources I am fine with that. I've tried (briefly) looking for a table mapping these colors to curses colors but have had no luck. Of course, doing the remapping from elisp would be even better. I've heard of but never used 'color themes' for emacs. Would these help solve this problem? -- Burton Samograd
