Hi,

With these settings, I have per-line highlight in dired with lin, but when I select the file name, the region's color isn't visible. That's a problem to copy parts of a file name or file sizes:

- `modus-themes-region` is '(accented)
- `lin-face` is 'lin-mac-override-fg, for white text on blue line highlight

Would I have to disable `lin-mode` in dired, or is it possible to add a quick fix to faces for this combo in my config?

Thanks!
Christian

Hello Christian!

These kind of clashes are unfortunate.  We can tweak the colour of the
accented region in the modus-themes, though that might have other
knock-on effects.  Maybe there is another macOS colour you could use?

To disable lin in dired, remove it from the lin-mode-hooks:

    (setq lin-mode-hooks
          '(bongo-mode-hook
            ;; dired-mode-hook
            elfeed-search-mode-hook
            git-rebase-mode-hook
            ibuffer-mode-hook
            ilist-mode-hook
            ledger-report-mode-hook
            log-view-mode-hook
            magit-log-mode-hook
            mu4e-headers-mode
            notmuch-search-mode-hook
            notmuch-tree-mode-hook
            occur-mode-hook
            org-agenda-mode-hook
            tabulated-list-mode-hook))

Then you will need to:

    (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook #'hl-line-mode)

Toggle lin-global-mode for changes to take effect.

Yes, that makes sense now -- I cannot enable a mode to highlight
lines in a way that suggests per-line selection, and then break with the
expectation by moving the point sideways with a region :)

So hl-line-mode it is. Will test-drive that for a while. Thanks!

Time to backpedal! It's not lin's fault at all :)

I used this to make lin's colors win over other mode's faces. Was a
quick fix I added a while ago and forgot about.

    ;; From -50 to +50 to override other faces, e.g. neotree links
    (setq hl-line-overlay-priority +50)

Removing that (or reverting to -50) fixes all my problems. (Or at least
those I reported here.)

Cheers!
Christian

Gotcha!  I remember when I used to change that priority for mct (and I
did read your blog post about those priorities), but I did not think it
would be the culprit here.

I received a comment the other day:

While I personally never noticed that, even though I have been nerd-sniped
a bit, I couldn't figure out how to prioritize the marked color. Funnily
enough, all-the-icons's icons's  bg color works :) See screenshot.
