I think implementing builtin colors opens a can of worms even if they are turned off by default. For example, one set of colors might not be suitable for all(*), so you need to make them customizable. In my opionion, a separate program would be better. Maybe it could be called by a Lua hook when needed. On the other hand, the "difficult" people could always use the default black/white mode plus a separate program and it's your own time, so feel free to use it as you wish. :) (*) Like (partially) color blind people, people who use fancy background colors, or transparent terminals, etc. -- Tero Koskinen - http://iki.fi/tero.koskinen/ _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
