Emacs - color of directories in dired

I have search the web. I have tried color-theme (perhaps I need to create my own, but really I have my emacs set up the way I want it except for this ONE thing, and I could not find a color theme that was acceptable to me).

I just want to change the color of the directories in dired-mode. I have several custom colors changed in my .emacs, like:

(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-comment-face "yellow" )

But I just don't know what face to change for the directories in dired mode.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Solution

  • If you move point to the place that's displaying the color you want to change and run M-x describe-face, it will tell you the face for the text at point and that face's properties.

    For me, it's dired-directory, not font-lock-comment-face.
