For quite a long time (most likely from the time when color translation was implemented for tty) colors of context lines in diff mode on tty were yellow for light backgrounds. There are also other faces with yellow foreground for light backgrounds, like font-lock-variable-name-face. Nobody complained about them so far. So maybe yellow is the acceptable color for context lines. > Is there no way to switch automatically to a proper set of darker > colors when the main text is black instead of white? By default on terminals Emacs background mode is `light', regardless of actual terminal background color, so you don't need to change the background mode when the main text is black on white. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
