Hi All,

I have installed slacwark13.7 and emacs 23.3. Then I've installed the
orgmode 7.9.3. This is my .emacs initialization file:

(require 'org-install)

Then, in a org file, I added the following lines to have cleaner view

#+STARTUP: indent
#+STARTUP: hidestars


But the starts are not hidden. I can see even extra stars. Could anyone
please help me?

The version is not 7.9.3 but 7.9.  

The "3" in "org-7.9-3-ga986d3" means that there has been 3 commits since
the release of the version tagged release_7.9.

I can't reproduce this with emacs-23.4 -Q and I don't have Emacs 23.3.

Does this happen with emacs-23.3 -Q or with your config?

Can anyone else reproduce this?

I am testing orgmode in Ubuntu 12.04. The host is a VM in oracle virtual
box (ver 4.1.18) in Windows 7. Here the emacs version is 23.3.1. I am using
the default org-mode here.

Within the host, I opened an org file with the emacs. Now it can hide the
stars.
However, interestingly, when I ssh-ed into the host with 'putty' and opened
the same file with emacs, it shows the stars.

Then I tried it in the latest cygwin. Here, the stars are not hidden.

The org flie has the following entry --

#+STARTUP: hidestars


Sincerely,
Ashfaq

Do they have different colour backgrounds? Hide star is really just a
hack by setting the stars to the same colour as the background.

They have different background colors. putty has black background. But the
emacs application in Ubuntu has white background. Can it be hacked into
again? :-)

The "hidden stars" colour is determined by the "org-hide" face which
defaults to white. The easiest way for you is to start emacs with the
"-rv" switch when you are using Putty.

Thanks for the info. I have installed emacs-goodies-el, inserted the
following line in .emacs

(require 'color-theme)

Then I selected a color theme which the color of  leading extra stars same
as the background giving an illusion of non-existence.

However, as I wanted to indent too, it added extra stars in the line. To be
precise, each line has now (2 * line_no -1) no. stars. Why is it like this?

I have no idea. I haven't ran Emacs in a console, let along through ssh,
in a couple of years. These days I connect to my machine with vnc
through an ssh tunnel. Maybe someone with more experience with emacs in
a console can help you. Alternatively, you might just want to bite the
bullet and use vnc.

Thank you, Phillip, for the info.

At last, I got it right. Selecting manoj-dark color-theme has hid those
stars.

If it helps, I have the following in my init file to make sure the hidden stars stay hidden:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
    (defun ded-set-org-hide ()
      "Make sure the background and foreground colors of the org-hide face
      matches the background of the default face."
      (interactive)
      (when (featurep 'org)
        (set-face-attribute 'org-hide nil
                            :foreground
                            (face-attribute 'default :background))
        (set-face-attribute 'org-hide nil
                            :background
                            (face-attribute 'default :background))))
  (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'ded-set-org-hide)
  (add-hook 'org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-hook 'ded-set-org-hide)
#+end_src

This works fine, but has to be manually re-run if you load a different custom theme.
