So I just started using Ben Hinkle's dlint program along with his d-mode
for emacs- the lastest one that ties into dlint.

First, let me say that it's great!  I don't miss Eclipse with Java
anymore (well, almost)!

I have two problems with it, however:
1) The green color it uses to highlight lines makes it really hard for
me to read the text underneath.  How do I change this?

2) Sometimes, especially when programming in templates, errors don't
show until you instantiate the template in another file.  In this case,
d-mode shows the error on the import line.  I'd like it to (in addition
to this) highlight the line in the offending file if that file is open.
Is this possible?

3) Does anyone know how to invoke the dlint runner without saving the
file?  I want do this whenever I change and save another file which
affects the buffer I want to do this one.

That's a good idea but right now the dlint minor mode requires a saved file. 
In principle it could pipe the current buffer to dlint and not need the file 
but it doesn't do that yet.

Check out the colors in linemark.el for linemark-go-face. It is hard-coded 
to use that pretty ugly green. I don't particularly like the colors 
dlint-mode uses either so suggestions would be appreciated.

 2) Sometimes, especially when programming in templates, errors don't

 d-mode shows the error on the import line.  I'd like it to (in addition

Currently dlint-mode only highlights lines in the current buffer and if the 
error is in an imported file the import statement is highlighted. You're 
right it would be better to highlight the template instantiation line 
instead. It will require some hopefully small modifications to the dmd front 
end. In any case if you hover over the import line or view the error at that 
line it should say exactly what file and what line caused the problem. My 
emacs coding skills are terrible so don't hold your breath for when 
something like that could get supported. The current dlint-mode is a minor 
modifications of the matlab mlint-mode written by a friend Eric Ludlam.

Actually it IS a saved file.  The errors that get highlighted, however,
aren't in the file, they're in other files, so once I fix and save the
error in the file, I want to run dlint on the file where they're being
highlighted.  Assuming that dlint can run (and already has been run) on
a buffer, I just want to run it again.

 
 2) Sometimes, especially when programming in templates, errors don't
 show until you instantiate the template in another file.  In this case,
 d-mode shows the error on the import line.  I'd like it to (in addition

I think you misunderstand.  I want dlint-mode to highlight the error
line in a different buffer.  Say I'm working on a.d, and an error on a
line in b.d shows up when running dlint on a.d.  If I currently have b.d
open in a buffer, I want the line to be highlighted in that buffer.
