org: Faces for TODO keywords
5.2.6 Faces for TODO keywords
-----------------------------
Org mode highlights TODO keywords with special faces: ‘org-todo’ for
keywords indicating that an item still has to be acted upon, and
‘org-done’ for keywords indicating that an item is finished. If you are
using more than 2 different states, you might want to use special faces
for some of them. This can be done using the option
‘org-todo-keyword-faces’. For example:
(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
'(("TODO" . org-warning) ("STARTED" . "yellow")
("CANCELED" . (:foreground "blue" :weight bold))))
While using a list with face properties as shown for CANCELED
_should_ work, this does not always seem to be the case. If necessary,
define a special face and use that. A string is interpreted as a color.
The option ‘org-faces-easy-properties’ determines if that color is
interpreted as a foreground or a background color.
