Emacs minimap: change color of screen zone

Question

By default the color of the area in the minimap that shows which part of the source code is being viewed on the screen right now is red. I find that very distracting. Is there a way to change that?

Answer 1

You can also configure the color in your emacs file if it's helpful.

Use the function custom-set-faces:

;; changing colors
(custom-set-faces
  '(minimap-active-region-background
    ((((background dark)) (:background "#2A2A2A222222"))
      (t (:background "#D3D3D3222222")))
    "Face for the active region in the minimap.
By default, this is only a different background color."
    :group 'minimap))
