In my emacs I use a dark background with a light color for text and
have the impression that it is less painful on the eyes that the more
common black-on-white. So far so nice, but when I want to export
buffer contents to HTML using htmlize-buffer to post it here, I get
the same light on black which seems incompatible with the design of
this blog. The solution is to advise the function
htmlize-buffer to temporarily change the default face (that’s where
I changed the colors to light on black) when the conversion is
done. The actual code for the .emacs-file is as follows:
(defadvice htmlize-buffer-1 (around black-on-white first activate)
"Advise a core function used by htmlize-buffer to use black on
white for the main text. This is useful if you mainly use bright
foreground colors on dark background.

(let ((fg (face-attribute 'default :foreground))
(bg (face-attribute 'default :background)))
(set-face-foreground 'default "black")
(set-face-background 'default "white")
ad-do-it
(set-face-foreground 'default fg)
(set-face-background 'default bg)))EDIT 2010-12-28: If your aquamacs is using htmlfontify instead of
htmlize then you can still use the code above. All you have to do is
change htmlize-buffer-1 into hfy-fontify-buffer.
