I do not :) But you may be right here because boost authors generally used comments to flag strange things like *i = 2; // crash! Other comments are usually not necessarily because boost libs are so well thought that they are almost auto commented. > > I now it is too subtle, I am weak for pastels colors :) > > I recommend that others try his own combination and then we choose... > > If not we will be doing this for all life ;) > > :-) > > Here goes then: > http://johnmaddock.co.uk/test/boost_bimap/one_minute_tutorial.html is > lacking the new top banner, but has almost the same colors as your version, > just a touch darker here and there.

Wow! I have never seen it before with bimap docs, thanks. Questions about it: * How do you change it looks and feel? Now that we are moving from blue to green it may be worth to look how Green titles looks. * Can we put colors to tables? * Can we remove the gray color for blurbs? I am using blurbs in the rationale in some places because they look exactly as a code block. * Can we put some light background tint in blocks? * Has pdf different styles for showing in the screen and printing? I am going to print this pdf and put it in my room wall :) Thanks Best regards Matias ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
