Okay -- I've made a little progress. I now have this: ;; Custom colors (defface my-group-face-1 '((t (:foreground "Red" :bold t))) "First group face") (defface my-group-face-2 '((t (:foreground "Green" :bold t))) "Second group face") (defface my-group-face-3 '((t (:foreground "Green4" :bold t))) "Third group face") (defface my-group-face-4 '((t (:foreground "SteelBlue" :bold t))) "Fourth group face") (defface my-group-face-5 '((t (:foreground "Blue" :bold t))) "Fifth group face")
;; Apply custom colors dependent on regex matching ;; Need to limit to certain groups (defun pja-gnus-git-color () (interactive) (highlight-regexp "^-.*" 'my-group-face-1) (highlight-regexp "^+.*" 'my-group-face-2)) (add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'pja-gnus-git-color) The first part defines new colors. The second part applies them using my defined function which is called with gnus-article-display-hook. This all works like I want it to...sort of. If I go to a message in my Git commit group I see lines that start with "-" as red and "+" as green. But, it only works on the first message I view in that group. If I hit "n" the next message doesn't have the highlighting. If I hit "P" to go back to where I just was, the highlighting isn't there now. If I exit the group "q" and go back in the first message I view will display the custom colors. What am I missing? Thanks, Peter Peter Anderson <[email protected]> writes: > I'm a noob.
