I found a "minor" bug in cd-colors.el
I use a variation of background/foreground according to day/night environments as suggested in http://www.jurta.org/en/emacs/dotemacs and which I reproduce below But using cd-colors and the day option which means (set-background-color "white") (set-foreground-color "black") I notice that the face org-hide remains black. As I use (setq org-hide-leading-stars t) this is not quite convenient. So I commented the line of org-hide in cd-colors and everything worked fine! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; `(org-tag ((t (:foreground ,tag)))) ;; `(org-hide ((t (:foreground "#191919")))) `(org-todo ((t (:background ,todo-bg :foreground "white" ,@box)))) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Daniel PS here is the text of my .emacs that I commented above ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;; colors (defun my-colors-light (&optional frame) "Set colors suitable for working in light environments, i.e. in daylight or under bright electric lamps."
