They inherit from existing faces in +order to remain backward-compatible. + +Quoting from [[https://list.orgmode.org/87lf7q7gpq....@protesilaos.com/][this thread]]: + +#+begin_quote ++ The 'org-imminent-deadline' is useful to disambiguate generic + warnings from deadlines. For example, a warning could be rendered + in a yellow colored text and have a bold weight, whereas a deadline + might be red and styled with italics. + ++ The 'org-agenda-structure-filter' applies to all tag/term filters + in agenda views that search for keywords or patterns. It is + designed to inherit from 'org-agenda-structure' in addition to the + 'org-warning' face that was present before (and removes the + generic 'warning' face from one place). This offers the benefit + of consistency, as, say, an increase in font height or a change in + font family in 'org-agenda-structure' will propagate to the filter + as well. The whole header line thus looks part of a singular + design. + ++ The 'org-agenda-structure-secondary' complements the above for those + same views where a description follows the header. For instance, the + tags view provides information to "Press N r" to filter by a + numbered tag. Themes/users may prefer to disambiguate this line + from the header above it, such as by using a less intense color or by + reducing its height relative to the 'org-agenda-structure'. + ++ The 'org-agenda-date-weekend-today' provides the option to + differentiate the current date on a weekend from the current date on + weekdays. +#+end_quote + *** New option ~org-clock-ask-before-exiting~ By default, a function is now added to ~kill-emacs-query-functions~ -- 2.33.0
