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