[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Have seen that outline level colours change according to the major made.  I do not like this, because

I would like that outline colour levels be consistent across major modes. 



Currently there is no facility for someone to define their own outline level colour schemes

that in fixed across major modes.

Have you tried tweaking outline-minor-mode-highlight (introduced in
Emacs 28, i.e. on the master branch)?  Setting it to 'override (and
reloading outline-minor-mode) does exactly what you would like, AFAICT
from reading the docstring, and trying it out.

Wouldn't customizing outline-[1-8] faces (plus setting
outline-minor-mode-highlight to 'override) allow exactly that?

Yes, I am forced to use 'override.  It is weird because if I set my own outline highlight pattern

for a particular major-mode, I really want to override, otherwise I would use something else.

Wouldn't customizing outline-[1-8] faces (plus setting

How does that work? The code uses only colours from inherited faces. There is no way to set the

colour directly in hex.

Would you know how I con set specific colours without requiring changes to the major mode faces?

M-x customize-apropos-faces RET outline

Then expand the faces you are interested in, "Show All Attributes", set
a foreground color, and either C-c C-c (set for session) or C-x C-s
(save in your init file, or custom-file if that's set).

With outline-minor-mode-highlight set to 'override, that should ensure
all outline headings have the same foregrounds, regardless of the major
mode.

If you do not wish to go through Customize, you can probably use
set-face-foreground in your init file.

So there doesn't seem to be anything to fix here, and I'm closing this
bug report.

And you've once again asked pretty much the same question both in the
bug tracker and on the Emacs help mailing list (and Eli answered your
question there).  Please stop doing this -- this isn't what the Emacs
bug tracker is for.
