13.2.2 Setting Colors and Fonts of the Characters

If you want to change colors or fonts of the characters, you need to modify faces defined in Wanderlust. Use set-face-font if you want to change fonts, and set-face-foreground for colors, and so on. You cannot write face settings in `.emacs'; write in `~/.wl'.

For example, if you want to change the color for signatures to yellow, write

(set-face-foreground 'wl-highlight-message-signature "yellow")

in `~/.wl'.
