Proposing a new way for org-get-level-face to behave (customizable)

[Jonathan BISSON <bissonjonathan@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm new to this list, and an 6-8 month (or so) user of org-mode.

I needed to get my outline-level-9 and further to look at least like the
outline-level-8 and not cycling to outline-level-1 as my customization
for this one got a bigger face. And I don't want a child to be bigger
than its parent for visibility purpose.

So I'm proposing this (I could provide a patch but as I'm not using the
very last version of orgmode neither the git one, I thought it was
useless to do so):

(defcustom org-cycle-level-faces t
  "If non-nil, level styles cycle after level org-n-level-faces, so
level org-n-level-faces+1 is styled like level 1. If nil, then all
levels >=org-n-level-faces are styled like level org-n-level-faces"
  :group 'org-appearance
  :type 'boolean)

(defun org-get-level-face (n)
  "Get the right face for match N in font-lock matching of headlines."
  (setq org-l (- (match-end 2) (match-beginning 1) 1))
  (if org-odd-levels-only (setq org-l (1+ (/ org-l 2))))
  (if org-cycle-level-faces
  (setq org-f (nth (% (1- org-l) org-n-level-faces) org-level-faces))
  (setq org-f (nth (1- (if (< org-l org-n-level-faces) org-l
org-n-level-faces)) org-level-faces))
  )
  (cond
   ((eq n 1) (if org-hide-leading-stars 'org-hide org-f))
   ((eq n 2) org-f)
   (t (if org-level-color-stars-only nil org-f))))


Hope it will be of some interest for some of you.

Thanks to quicksilver on irc.freenode.net #org-mode for the help.


Cheers.
