Thank you very much for the assistance! I'd like to try to add the ability to toggle colors in sage itself. As a new user (and developer), I'd appreciate you input. Would a good way to go about this be to add a target to the Makefile that creates a file like you described, and then create a function in sage that will modify this upon request? Also, when you mentioned
"It might not be a bad idea to have several of our own pre-defined color schemes" I noticed that the preset values of Linux and LightBG basically correspond to dark and light background respectively, so making our own color seems would be a bit redundant. Did you have any other color schemes in mind? Thanks, Nitin Prasad On Sunday, March 9, 2014 1:46:59 PM UTC-5, John H Palmieri wrote: > > The colors are controlled by IPython.
