Subject: Make code elements in prose unobtrusive [legibility 6/6]
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2020 12:11:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMUm493zrTk2kP-wnWhfimXwwb41sYDRXrPKez6wN0B1MYsnNQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Org intersperses bits of code in prose, such as datestamps, drawers,
keywords, etc. The code distracts when reading the prose. The solution
is to make the code less prominent.

That way it's easy to read the paragraphs of prose without
interruption. If one wants to focus on a code bit, it's still easily
readable. Prose needs to be larger to be human-scannable, but the code
bits aren't in paragraphs, so they can be smaller. Code only needs to
be readable when the eye is centered on it, whereas a prose paragraph
must be read with multiple saccades.

Org should provide a way to make all the code bits smaller with one settings:

#+begin_src elisp
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(org-date ((t (:foreground "#7590db" :underline t :height 0.8 :width
normal))))
 '(org-drawer ((t (:foreground "LightSkyBlue" :height 0.7 :width condensed))))
 '(org-special-keyword ((t (:foreground "#bc6ec5" :height 0.7 :width
condensed)))))
#+end_src
