How do I change font for DONE tasks?

How do I change font for DONE tasks?

[Mark Ochocki]

Hi,

I switched from Planner to Org-Mode at the beginning of the year. 
Org-Mode fits the way I work so much better. The one thing I miss is 
having finished tasks show in a gray font with a line through it. 
Unfinished tasks are much easier to see in a long list of tasks that 
way. How can I duplicate this in Org-Mode?

Thanks,
Mark

You can customize most of the org-mode faces. For the DONE lines, 

M-x org-customize
then browse your way to Org Font Lock->Org Faces->Org Done

But it's much easier to position point on the face you want to change
(in your case the "DONE") and hit `M-x customize-face RET RET'.

This will just change the font for the "DONE" keyword.  If you want to
strike through the whole headline:


(setq org-fontify-done-headline t)
(custom-set-faces
 '(org-done ((t (:foreground "PaleGreen"   
                 :weight normal
                 :strike-through t))))
 '(org-headline-done 
            ((((class color) (min-colors 16) (background dark)) 
               (:foreground "LightSalmon" :strike-through t)))))

Looking at this I was wondering if it is possible to change colors
individually for different TODO states. If, for example, I have this
in my options:

#+SEQ_TODO: TODO STARTED IMPLEMENTED FEEDBACK VERIFY DONE

it would be neat to have different colors for each state (TODO:red,
STARTED:orange, IMPLEMENTED:lightgreen, FEEDBACK:...).

Maybe something for future?

Cheers

You can use font-lock-add-keywords to add your own font-locking.

But this might be a useful idea, I'll put it on the list.

Thanks,
