Salient unread messages to avoid missing new mail #29
Conversation

That's weird because for me, read message are default and unread strong. You mean the difference in weight is not enough? |
|
For me I see no difference at all between read and unread. At least on my monitor and set up (macos 10.15 without font smoothing) I can't tell the difference. I'm using size 12 for the fonts though, so maybe that's the issue? Deriving from both would perhaps be an even better idea. |

Oh I see. On BigSur, there's a bug in font selection and you cannot set the light/regular weights. That might be related. What I did to temporarily fix the problem was to derive 2 different fonts from Roboto Mono to have the right weight. I can upload them to the repository if this is also the bug for you. Best would be to starts |

I'm not affected by the bug, as I'm still in Catalina. but somehow I couldn't see any difference. Also, do you know if different weights also have different heights? I can see fonts jumping sometimes if they change weight - see gif below:
Does this happen only at my end? |

There's something weird with your fonts because the weights should not affect the baseline. Can you check in |
|
No - it seems the issue happens because I wasn't loading nano-layout. That first sexp setting the default frame parameters seems to be required for properly setting fonts. Apparently otherwise the default font size leads to different weights having different heights. |
|
I'll soon add a nano-typography.el file to separate the font definition that will hopefully solve your problem. |

The default strong coloring for unread messages make them indistinguishable from read messages. This PR fixes this (although I could see this is a matter of opinion, so feel free to close this if that's not wished for).
