Setting priority faces doesn't do anything.

[niceiq]

Pretty simple issue here. The following code does not do anything at all:

     org-modern-priority-faces
     '((?A . (:foreground "black" :background "#68aaba")) ; Red
       (?B . (:foreground "black" :background "#d48c0d")) ; Orange
       (?C . (:foreground "black" :background "#d6ba04")) ; Yellow
       (?D . (:foreground "black" :background "#93e9fa"))) ; Blue

Modifying the string works as expected:

     org-modern-priority
     '((?A . "󱈸ASAP󱈸")
       (?B . "HIGH")
       (?C . "MEDIUM")
       (?D . "LOW"))

Solution I've found so far is to use:

    (setq org-priority-faces '(
                             (?A . (:background "black" :foreground "#b85862" :weight 'bold))
                             (?B . (:background "black" :foreground "#d48c0d"))
                             (?C . (:background "black" :foreground "#d6ba04"))
                             (?D . (:background "black" :foreground "#93e9fa"))))

Is there a difference between those two variables?

Also, is is possible to modify the font to be of similar size to the TODO item?

The following code does not do anything at all:

Modifying the faces works for me. I think the problem is that you cannot configure both org-modern-priority and org-modern-priority-faces together. If you configure org-modern-priority it must already carry the face information.

So is there a way to change both the colors and the string?

You can use (propertize "str" 'face ...).
