emacs - long line hightlight color too dark - emacs

I use below code to highlight characters longer than 78.
(setq whitespace-style '(face empty tabs lines-tail trailing))
(setq whitespace-line-column 78)
(global-whitespace-mode 1)
It works fine but the background color too dark!
How can I change the highlight characters background color?

Just customize the whitespace-line face.

just like below:
(setq whitespace-style '(face empty tabs lines-tail trailing))
(setq whitespace-line-column 78)
(global-whitespace-mode 1)
(custom-set-faces
'(whitespace-line ((t (:background "#eff0f1"))))

in GNU Emacs, how to set background color by mode?

In GNU Emacs, I see that I can set different faces for foreground type in different modes, e.g.:
(custom-set-faces
'(message-header-to ((t (:foreground "LightGoldenrod1" :weight bold)))))
How can I set the background color for the frame by mode? Such that, for e.g., org-mode background would take whatever the color-theme defines it as, but message-mode background would be black?
Something like this, except that the below doesn't work:
(custom-set-faces
'(message-mode-frame ((t (:background "black")))))
Here is a quick example to do it by frame -- i.e. where it will affect every buffer in the frame:
(add-hook 'post-command-hook 'change-my-background-color)
(add-hook 'change-major-mode-hook 'change-my-background-color)
(add-hook 'window-configuration-change-hook 'change-my-background-color)
(defun change-my-background-color ()
(cond
((eq major-mode 'org-mode)
(set-background-color "honeydew"))
((eq major-mode 'text-mode)
(set-background-color "blue"))
(t
(set-background-color "red"))))
And, here is a change the buffer color example:
(defun buffer-background-red ()
(interactive)
(setq buffer-face-mode-face `(:background "red"))
(buffer-face-mode 1))
To do it on a window basis is not presently possible; however, here is a link to changing the modeline color as to the active window.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/20936397/2112489
"Entire frame, i.e. entire background of message-mode"
this phrase make me think author mixed up frame and window in Emacs. Each frame can contains several windows. While *-mode can refer to each buffer, i.e. window.
So if you want to set background color by mode for each buffer with it (but not for frame) then better use mode hooks like here

How to change face of whitespace-tab in whitespace-mode to red background in Emacs

I have this code in my .emacs file:
(setq-default show-trailing-whitespace t)
(setq whitespace-style '(face tabs))
(whitespace-mode)
How can I change the var whitespace-tab so my tabs look the same as trailing whitespace (red background)?
An alternative: do not bother with whitespace-mode for this.
Use library highlight-chars.el (see your related question), and just customize face hc-tab (M-x customize-face hc-tab).
Found it, need to use this code:
(setq whitespace-style '(face tabs))
(setq tab-face (make-face 'tab-face))
(set-face-background 'tab-face "red")
(setq whitespace-tab 'tab-face)
(whitespace-mode)

Emacs AucTex Latex syntax prevents monospaced font

My emacs (Aquamacs with AucTex) changes font size (in e.g. LaTeX mode) to show the syntax - like this:
Unfortunately this ruins the point of a monospaced font - e.g. my comments do not align. How do I solve this problem?
For the specific example of sections, chapters, etc., add the following to your .emacs:
(setq font-latex-fontify-sectioning 'color)
Edit
Here is the config I usually use to customise the AUCTeX formatting:
;; Only change sectioning colour
(setq font-latex-fontify-sectioning 'color)
;; super-/sub-script on baseline
(setq font-latex-script-display (quote (nil)))
;; Do not change super-/sub-script font
(custom-set-faces
'(font-latex-subscript-face ((t nil)))
'(font-latex-superscript-face ((t nil)))
)
;; Exclude bold/italic from keywords
(setq font-latex-deactivated-keyword-classes
'("italic-command" "bold-command" "italic-declaration" "bold-declaration"))
If you find a solution to this, the beers are on me. The best I've been able to come up with so far is to put the following in my .emacs somewhere and run the function after loading a mode that does this (org-mode does it too).
(defun fix-fonts ()
(interactive)
(mapc
(lambda (face)
(set-face-attribute face nil
;; :family (if (string= system-type "darwin")
;; "Menlo"
;; "Inconsolata")
:width 'normal
:height 1.0
:weight 'normal
:underline nil
:slant 'normal))
(remove 'default (face-list))))
I don't do the family thing anymore, because I didn't have time to figure out a good way to programatically get it right and it doesn't seem to matter, but your mileage might vary. Also, I don't set anything on the "default" font because some of the other values are relative and need that fixed reference point.

Bold Font settings for TODO keywords in org-mode

I have added a NEXT todo keyword using the below setting
(setq org-todo-keywords
'((sequence "TODO(t)" "NEXT(n)" "|" "DONE(d!/!)")))
I want to change the "NEXT" todo keyword font setting color to cyan and bold, i have used the following to set this up.
(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
'(("NEXT" . (:foreground "cyan" :bold t))))
The color gets changed but the "NEXT" keyword font is not displayed in bold as the "TODO" keyword gets displayed. How to make it to bold.
how about this.?
(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
(quote (("NEXT" :foreground "cyan" :weight bold))))

When I'm scrolling within files of a common size (about 1000 lines) holding the up/down-keys, emacs almost hangs and produces about 50% CPU-load. I use the following plugins:
ido
linum
tabbar
auto-complete-config
Starting emacs with -q fixes the problem, but then I don't have any plugins. I can't figure out, which part of my .emacs is responsible for this behaviour.
Here's an excerpt of my .emacs-file:

Looks OK to me. The fact that it runs OK with emacs -q is key, since it means you can solve the problem.
Now, I hope that someone offers you a simple diagnosis based on your files, but if not (and hey it's been 7 hours), you can always try the standard .emacs-debugging slow coach. It's not particularly fun, but it'll work.
Chose your pleasure:
(A) Divide and Conquer
Divide your .emacs mentally into 4 parts. Now figure out which quarter is causing your problem by making four separate trial emacs configs: the first with 1/4 of your emacs, the next with half, the next with three quarters, and the final one with everything.
emacs --no-site-file # see if the problem is in your site-wide emacs init
emacs -q -l config1 # is it in the first quarter
emacs -q -l config2 # is it in the first half (i.e. the second quarter)
emacs -q -l config3 # is it in the third quarter
emads -q -l config4 # gotta be here, but test again to be sure
If you don't find the culprit, you can further divide. If you suspect you have a culprit, or just like the look of this method better, try this:
(B) Check each step
load a blank emacs with emacs -q
visit your .emacs in a buffer
visit your 1K line file in another buffer.
use eval-last-sexp C-x C-e, or eval-region to try each section or line in your .emacs, either systematically from the beginning, or starting with any suspect function calls.
Slowly but surely, you'll smoke it out. Sorry I can't offer you instant diagnosis.
In my experience, turning off linum mode solves problem with scroll freeze.
I had the same problem with emacs 24. Turned out to be tabbar-mode that slowed it down.
