Ah, sorry, I was being overly verbose, and should have left that paragraph out completely, as it only really says: In a perfect world ... but we don't live there, so let's try this instead: My main point was that the plumbing does not seem to be connected by default, and there are no (correct) hints in any of the obvious places how this should normally be done. If it's possible to make it detect that the background is dark, that would be even better, but if not then I think the darkest colour on the light-background scheme should still be just visible on a dark background, and vice versa. It's very frustrating to start up outline mode and see nothing, especially when you're not sure which configuration option you were meant to tweak to get it working, and when you do get it right the test file you were editing becomes largely invisible, so you keep on trying past that and break it again a few times before realising that you're looking at black-on-black.
