Index Color Patch
=================

    Custom rules for theming the email index

Patch
-----

    To check if Mutt supports "Index Color", look for "patch-index-color" in
    the mutt version.

    Dependencies
    * mutt-1.5.24
    * status-color patch

Introduction
------------

    The "index-color" patch allows you to specify colors for individual parts
    of the email index. e.g. Subject, Author, Flags.

    First choose which part of the index you'd like to color. Then, if needed,
    pick a pattern to match.

    Note: The pattern does not have to refer to the object you wish to color.
    e.g.

        color index_author red default "~smutt"

    The author appears red when the subject (~s) contains "mutt".

Colors
------

    All the colors default to 'default', i.e. unset.

    The index objects can be themed using the 'color' command. Some objects
    require a pattern.

        color index-object foreground background
        color index-object foreground background pattern
