Working out what face is used

Working out what face is used

Hello,

This is a tangentially Org-related question. If I enable
org-sticky-headers, it works just fine. I get, for example, at the top
of the buffer:

  ** Top level heading / Second level heading

Which is correct. But “ / ” and the rest of the line after “Second
level heading” are in some unknown face. It has an odd gray background
and appears to be underlined in white.

For ordinary text in a buffer, I can put my cursor on the text and use
“C-u x =” to see what face is being used.

In this case, I can’t put the cursor on the text. I’ve made a quick
skim of org-sticky-header.el and don’t see any obvious use of a
specific face. So I’m a bit stumped.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm

FWIW, I made a rainbow out of the background colors and worked out
what face it was, but I am still curious if there was a more direct
approach.

                                        Be seeing you,

You could try M-x list-faces-display, which will list all the defined
faces with samples for each face. If your lucky, it will show the face
your seeing (and you can change it).
