The diff-mode colors on a dark-background terminal (gnome-terminal or generic xterm) are: Changed lines: yellow+bold on black Context: white/grey on black Headers: green/blue+bold on black These colors work very well and should not be changed On the other hand, I find the terminal _light-background_ colors almost unreadable. Certainly the "bold yellow" foreground used in headers is absurd on a white background. In general changed foreground colors seem to work less well against a light background (perhaps because most terminal colors are fairly bright and don't contrast well against a white background) so perhaps it would be better to use the default [black] foreground for the context/changed text, and rely on making the changed lines bold. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
