Just stay out of its way.) > 2) emacs as a good citizen in a OS themed setting No: Emacs-24.3 uses the system's fg highlight color for various reasons, but it's a regression and we should fix it. As pointed out, most other text editors only use the system's bg color for highlighting but leave the fg color unchanged during highlighting. That's on the average a better choice (even if some people like it less: they can Customize this aspect very easily). The issue is how to make sure that this "system bg + font-lock foreground" always results in readable text. Stefan
