How do I colorize the chmod privileges string? I am using dired+ and dired-hacks and have the ability to colorize the FILES based on the chmod string, but I want the string itself to have colors. I had this a little bit ago but somehow it went away. For example, each column in so that the eye can follow the colors down and easily see permission differences within a directory.

I sensed I could improve how my directories appeared in dired, instead of just being bold-face. The question was, how to find which face to change to get the desired result? Digging through my customize-faces options was tedious and sometimes misses the tree for the forest unless you know which one you’re looking for. Locating the face at point Enter the beautiful self-documenting nature of Emacs. Put your cursor on the thing you want to change (remember, our whole philosophy emacs inherited from *Nix is that everything is text).

https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/fcernd/how_to_find_the_highlight_face_in_emacs/ The doom themes I try all have too un-obvious a background color for selected text – the text of future matches when doing an interactive search, or the highlight color of matches while I’m spell-checking, or the mark area when I am highlighting a section of text. I assume these are all the same face, because they look the same. Does anyone know which face this should be so I can customize it, and secondly, can tell me how I could figure out the answer to this question on my own without reading a lot of code?
