I've been doing some work on xterm. My original goal was to let me
see some color on the screen. (I think it's silly that we spend
hundreds of dollars on neat color monitors, and the software we use
most often -- xterm and emacs -- doesn't make much use of color.
agreed.
The next step is for emacs to do the mode line in color.) In the
process I also fixed xterm so it makes entries in /etc/utmp.
you should really get ahold of epoch 4.0 patchlevel2 + linux patches.
it contains support for arbitrary attributes in emacs buffers (like
size, face, color). I've got a hilit package which will hilit epoch
buffers using mode based rules. (i.e. c comments in red, function
decls in blue, etc)
let me know if you need more info..
Thanks.
