10 :ID: 849d13ea-d2ca-45e8-ac49-ff7586c119cb
13 To customize all aspects of Org appearance use
16 =M-x customize-group RET org-appearance RET=
19 Here you will find several options that can be chaged, and a further
20 link to a page for customizing [[id:f47abcd0-e31e-4b23-87db-d916d21665ad][Org-mode faces]].
22 ** Customize Org-mode faces
24 :ID: f47abcd0-e31e-4b23-87db-d916d21665ad
27 A "face" is the term emacs uses to refer to the font and colour of
28 some text (as well as other features such as underlining etc).
30 Customizing Org faces is straightforward:
33 =M-x customize-group RET org-faces RET=
36 You can also customize faces on the fly by just calling the
37 =customize-face= command with the cursor on the face you want to
40 ** Hiding leading stars
41 the variable org-hide-leading-stars can be configured so that only
42 one star is shown at the start of each heading. Many people find
43 that this give the org buffer a cleaner appearance. This can be set
44 in the Org Font Lock customize group as explained above in
45 [[id:849d13ea-d2ca-45e8-ac49-ff7586c119cb][Customizing Org appearance]].
47 ** Customizing the title, date, author and email lines.
49 The title, date and author information for an org document are
50 specified using the special keywords =#+TITLE:=, =#+DATE=,
51 =#+AUTHOR=, =#+EMAIL=.
53 By default, title, author, date and email lines appear in dark blue
54 with the initial keywords greyed out. The title is in a larger font
55 than the others. To change this, customize the faces
59 - org-document-info-keyword
61 In addition, the variable org-hidden-keywords can be used to make the
62 corresponding keywords disappear.
64 ** Using only odd outline levels
65 The variable org-odd-levels-only can be used so that Org only uses
66 odd-numbered outline levels. Again, some people prefer this, finding
67 that the Org buffer looks less cluttered.
