<h3>Changing faces in the ECB tree-buffers</h3>
<p>There are two basic faces:
<ul>
<li><code>ecb-default-general-face</code>:
Basic face for displaying an ECB-tree-buffer.
<p>Its recommended to define the font-family, the font-size, the basic
color etc. with this face.
<p>In GNU Emacs 21.X all faces (even the face
<code>ecb-default-highlight-face</code>) used in the ECB tree-buffers
inherit from this face. Therefore the default attributes like font
etc. of a face used in a tree-buffer can be very easily changed with
face <code>ecb-default-general-face</code>.
<p>With XEmacs there is no inheritance-feature but the options
<code>ecb-directories-general-face</code>, <code>ecb-sources-general-face</code>,
<code>ecb-methods-general-face</code> and <code>ecb-history-general-face</code>
offer the choice to use the face <code>ecb-default-general-face</code> so
also with XEmacs the basic face-settings can be easily changed just by
customizing the face <code>ecb-default-general-face</code>.
</p><li><code>ecb-default-highlight-face</code>:
Basic face for highlighting the current node in an ECB-tree-buffer.
<p>In GNU Emacs 21.X all highlighting faces used in the ECB tree-buffers
inherit from this face. Therefore the default attributes like font
etc. of a highlighting face used in a tree-buffer can be very easily
changed with face <code>ecb-default-highlight-face</code>.
<p>With XEmacs there is no inheritance-feature but the options
<code>ecb-directory-face</code>, <code>ecb-source-face</code>,
<code>ecb-method-face</code> and <code>ecb-history-face</code> offer the choice to
use the face <code>ecb-default-highlight-face</code> so also with XEmacs the
basic face-settings can be easily changed just by customizing the face
<code>ecb-default-highlight-face</code>.
</ul>
<p>With these faces you can change the basic attributes easily and fast
for ALL ECB-tree-buffers. But you are also able to display each
ECB-tree-buffer with different faces, see the different options for
every tree-buffer mentioned above.
<p><strong>Please note</strong> (only for XEmacs users): Cause of the lack of the
font-inheritance feature using ONE other font for the ECB-methods
buffer can NOT be achieved just by setting
<code>ecb-methods-general-face</code> to <code>ecb-default-general-face</code> and
changing the font of this default face. In addition you have to set
the same font also for the face <code>ecb-bucket-node-face</code> like in
the following example:
<br><pre>(defconst my-ecb-font
"-outline-Courier-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1")
(set-face-font 'ecb-default-general-face my-ecb-font)
(set-face-font 'ecb-bucket-node-face my-ecb-font)
</pre>
<p>This code sets the new defined font <code>my-ecb-font</code> as font for
all<a rel=footnote href="#fn-1"><sup>1</sup></a> ECB-tree-buffers (incl. the methods
buffer).
<hr><h4>Footnotes</h4>
<ol type="1">
<li><a name="fn-1"></a>
<p>Of course <code>ecb-directories-general-face</code>,
<code>ecb-sources-general-face</code>, <code>ecb-methods-general-face</code> and
<code>ecb-history-general-face</code> must be set to
<code>ecb-default-general-face</code>!</p>
