AW: Same coloring as GNU Emacs not possible due to fewer face types

first of all thanks a lot for your quick answers.

What do you mean 'types of elements'? can you give an example?
Well, if you look at the samples
(http://downloads.schlosser.info/sample-emacs.html), you see some LaTeX
code. In GNU Emacs, the options and parameters to commands have a different
color to the rest of the text, whereas in XEmacs they do not, regardless of
with or without color-theme. This lead me to the conclusion that XEmacs
simply does not support as many faces as GNU. In both Emacs'es I switched on
AucTeX, of course.

It is not supported as an xemacs package, but it does appear to be
supported for xemacs. It seems to work ok for me.
Yes, I know, and it also works here. But, to stress it: My question is not
about usability of color-theme together with XEmacs, it is about the number
of faces.
But I agree, this could also be rated as a RFE rather than a bug.
Nevertheless, is it true that there are fewer faces or is there anything I
could configure (easily) to get the additional faces?
BTW, It is available here:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ColorTheme
Yes, this is where I got it from.
Anyhow, this is the only thing I do not like in XEmacs, everything else is
just great! You have done some great work and a perfect Windows port!
Sincerely,
Joachim
