If the red colored comments are hard to read on a console, can't we just change the face foreground for font-lock-comment-face for that situation (i.e. min-colors == 8 and background-mode == 'dark)? It seems to me that would be a lot easier than adding font-lock-comment-delimiter-face route? We could either swap the color used by font-lock-comment-face with one of the other font-lock faces, or use the same color for both font-lock-comment-face and another face. it's not like there's a lot of choice for colors (only 8), or very likely to confuse comments with anything else. So just do M-x list-colors-display RET pick a color for comments and I'll do the needed change. PS: Offtopic wish: I would be nice if the Linux console allowed for more than 8 colors to be used (like 256 colors). Maybe this is not even hard to do, now that a lot of machines use a frame buffer console. Any linux guys listening? (No, I have no idea if this is possible or desirable) _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
