;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This is a hack for Emacs 20.x so that when you are using file completion,
;; directories can show up with a certain color.  This should work under Emacs
;; 21.

;; NOTE:  just prototype for a future hack.

;;; Code:

(defface completion-setup-directory-face  '((t (:foreground "LimeGreen")))
  "Face to use for directories.")

(defvar color-file-completion-always t "If true, always turn on regexps in
completion buffers.")

(defun completion-setup-directory-face()
  "When we are completing a filename, highlight directories."
  (interactive)

  ;;if this is completing a filename... highlight faces...
  (if (or color-file-completion-always
          (eq minibuffer-completion-table 'read-file-name-internal))
      (progn

        (let((font-lock-verbose nil))
          (font-lock-mode 1)
        
          (font-lock-add-keywords nil '(("[^ \n]+/" 0 
'completion-setup-directory-face keep)))

          (font-lock-fontify-buffer)))))

(add-hook 'completion-list-mode-hook 'completion-setup-directory-face)

(provide 'color-file-completion)
