Dear Madam or Sir, i hope this is the right mail adress for asking for information ... an earlyer question there was very kind help from one of you, but i could not find the mail to look. On my PC there is Debian 12 running, and it seems i don't get updates/upgrades for non-system/non-Debian software for quite some time now, esp. Emacs, Vim and LaTeX which i use sometimes (learning slowly). My question is about settings in Emacs. On my Debian 12 it is version 28.2 from early 2025 (as i said, no updates from Debian since then). I am using the Zenburn theme with a few different colours. I managed to set the standard-text colour to a gray and cursor colour to a green rectangle in my .emacs file with: (set-foreground-color "#b2b2b2") (set-cursor-color "#5faf5f") I think such set-commands are quite easy to understand and i would like also to change the line-numbers (current and oher) to more inconspicuous colours, but with online search i couldn't find the right commands (like in the examples with "set-xxx 'colour'"), and looking in the Zenburn theme file, i got not clever about this. Do you have an idea where to look for or perhaps the right command at hand? Thank you very much in advance and best regards, Andreas
