Propertized text (foreground or background) is not dimmed in the mode-line? #55

Closed Dima-369 closed 3 years ago

Dima-369 commented 3 years ago

If I make any text in the mode-line colored, it is not getting dimmed and stays the original color, regardless if I set a foreground or background. Regular text is getting dimmed correctly as seen below.

Is there a way to fix this?

I am appending strings like that to global-mode-string:

(propertize " red " 'font-lock-face '(:foreground "red"))

It looks like this for me in Emacs 27.2:

Hmm, so I checked with https://github.com/seagle0128/doom-modeline and there the dimming works without problems on colored text and icons, so it must be on my side:

Ah, dimming of the mode-line is not related to dimmer.el at all.

Not that I have fixed it yet, but this is unrelated to this package :)

I suppose that one needs to use (selected-window) and depending on its result use propertize or not.

Here is a good example: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/26345/30652
