Hello -

Version Info:

> Emacs  : GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin21.6.0, NS appkit-2113.60 Version 12.6 (Build 21G115))
>  of 2022-09-25
> Package: modus-themes (2.6.0)

Problem:

The face gnus-summary-low-unread is identical to
gnus-summary-high-unread resulting in some confusion. Looking at the
source code it appears that all the gnus-summary-low-* faces are
inherited from :italic while all the gnus-summary-high-* faces are
inherited from :bold.

*Except* that gnus-summary-low-unread is inherited from :bold as is
 gnus-summary-high-unread.

I believe a simple fix would be to change gnus-summary-low-unread to
inherit from :italic as the other 'low' faces do.

Thanks in advance

Ciao

I agree and pushed the change:

    commit c65ea67673c501066b7ae260bddd8c1af1cafbbf

        Make gnus-summary-low-unread inherit from italic

        This helps differentiate it from the gnus-summary-high-unread face.

        Thanks to Mark Simpson for pointing out the possibility of conflating
        those two faces: <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/modus-themes/%3Cm2r0zszc2z.fsf@gmail.com%3E>.

You are welcome!  This change will be synced with emacs.git in a few
days once I release version 2.7.0 of the themes.

All the best,
Protesilaos (or simply "Prot")
