How to make change the appearance of org-date inside a drawer?

[William Denton]

I would like to make drawers look fainter and smaller.  I have this mostly 
working, with this:

(face-spec-set 'org-drawer '((t (:foreground "dim gray" :weight normal :height 0.9))))
(face-spec-set 'org-special-keyword '((t (:foreground "dim gray" :weight normal :height 0.9))))
(face-spec-set 'org-property-value '((t (:weight normal :height 0.9))))

But then there is this case:

:LOGBOOK:
CLOCK: [2023-01-04 Wed 14:05]--[2023-01-04 Wed 17:33] =>  3:28
:END:

Here LOGBOOK and CLOCK are smaller, but the timestamps are full size.  (This 
won't come across in plain text email, of course.)

describe-char there tells me the timestamp has the face org-date.  Is there a 
way to make org-date smaller when it's in a drawer?  I don't want to make a 
global setting for it, because I often use dates in headings.


Thanks,

Bill

Not yet.
For now, you can use `org-font-lock-set-keywords-hook' to add a custom
font-lock keyword that will check if point is in drawer and apply
alternative timestamp face.

See `font-lock-keywords' docstring. It is long and not very easy to
understand, but the options are flexible enough to achieve anything you
want.
