Add color and shorten minibuffer prompt. #32

Closed Wilfred closed 8 years ago

Wilfred commented 8 years ago

When I'm using vr/query-replace with larger patterns, it can be hard to see what's going on in the minibuffer. I've made the message slightly shorter. I've also added some color to distinguish user input from the message.

Before:

vr_query_replace_prompt_before

After:

vr_query_replace_new_prompt

I like it! Thanks a lot.

I wonder if we should still apply minibuffer-prompt-properties, but since it is not even used in the normal query/replace prompts, I guess we can ignore that until someone asks for it.
