Bozhidar Batsov has his third post on the features of the coming Emacs 24.4 up. This time, he discusses the addition of sRGB to the NextStep (NS) build section of Emacs. The NS build section is where all the Mac OS X specific code and configuration lives. If you’re looking for better color support, you’ll be getting it in Emacs 24.4.
I don’t use a prepackaged color theme; I prefer to just add a pale beige (oldlace) background to the standard white screen color set. From time to time I look at the themes people have made and still haven’t found anything I like better than my simple set up. But that’s just me. Most people prefer darker screens (why is a mystery to me just as why I prefer light screens is doubtless a mystery to them) and most prefer one of the many themes that people have put together.
All that said, I will find it interesting to see if and how the new color facility changes my mind. If you’re one of those people who have been applying the sRGB patch or using homebrew your life is about to get easier.
