It works correclty on the linux console; it may be face definitions need tweaking for "low-color" terminals (this can be done using the conditional facility of the face definition language). > the subtleties of faces but maybe grey60 gets 'rounded' to white on an xterm > with 8/16 colours.

Ok; probably the `:inherit fringe' should be used only for bitmaps (is it even useful for them? I though fringe stuff would get merged with the fringe face anyway). > In X, enabled/disabled breakpoints are distinguished by colour alone, the > icons having the same shape both in the margin and in the fringe.

Note that I made this change because I was setting breakpoints on a tty and couldn't see them very well; having them displayed in bold red _really_ helps. I'll give the faces a tweak to reflect the above points. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
