Or, find out which faces you need to modify by putting the point in the relevant place then typing `C-u C-x =` then [customise them](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Face- Customization.html). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AbstProcDo · 2022-04-25 13:36 thank you, the themes really helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mickeyp · 2022-04-25 15:31 Put the point on the text face you want to change and type `M-x customize-face`. Now pick a new colour. You can use any colour you like, but I think `M-x list-colors-display` is useful for inspiration.
