    These features, and several other places that use colour, are not
    implemented using font-lock, so toggling global-font-lock-mode has no
    effect. In this specific case, you can set ido-use-faces and customize
    the minibuffer-prompt face.

This sort of problem is easy to fix; we already have a mechanism for
it.  The mode should set `font-lock-face' properties instead of `face'
properties.  That will make the right thing happen.
