Subject: tango-dark: background highlighting not working properly
Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 11:00:50 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
The following code does not work well on the builtin `tango-dark` theme:

    (custom-set-faces
     '(region ((t (:inherit nil :background "RoyalBlue4"))))
     '(highlight ((t (:inherit region :background "dark olive green"))))
     '(hl-line ((t (:inherit highlight)))))

Region highlighting works well and respects foreground faces:

[image: Inline image 1]

but line highlighting doesn't:

[image: Inline image 2]

There is a thread on StackOverflow discussing this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15733873/customizing-highlighting-faces-in-emacs-only-change-the-background-color

Any thoughts?
Thanks,

James

That's the region face, not the highlight face (for which tango-dark
sets a foreground color).

I think that's to be expected, since the tango-dark theme sets a
foreground color for the highlight face:

   `(highlight ((,class (:foreground ,alum-6 :background ,butter-2))))

So I'm closing this ticket.

Cheers,
