From 202cf4306d10128de79fefad26d14a1719f04d1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Craig Jennings Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 01:13:12 -0500 Subject: fix(dashboard): exclude dashboard-mode from global font-lock The dashboard banner title and section headings render in the default face instead of their theme colors. The faces are defined correctly. Global font-lock fontifies the dashboard buffer and strips the `face' text properties dashboard sets by hand: it owns `face' and clears props it didn't apply. Items and the navigator survive because their color rides a dashboard-items-face overlay, which font-lock leaves alone. Excluding dashboard-mode from global font-lock keeps the banner and heading faces. I set it at top level so it applies regardless of the use-package body. --- modules/dashboard-config.el | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'modules') diff --git a/modules/dashboard-config.el b/modules/dashboard-config.el index 43e2182ee..3f3b1996e 100644 --- a/modules/dashboard-config.el +++ b/modules/dashboard-config.el @@ -161,6 +161,15 @@ system-defaults) are preserved rather than overwritten."
