I was thinking perhaps of having a predefined set of templates (with the option and documentation to add your own). Perhaps implement one that creates the "traffic-light" style that seems to make intuitive sense to man= y americans (Bold Red: error, Bold Green: Success, Bold Yellow: warning/notice), and also have another perdefined one that uses a different color set. BTW, I know that blue and red are "bad" colors. How to the "emphasized" or "emboldened" versions of these colors match up? I like the former. Which means the defaults need to be black and > white.

I am merely talking about predefined color choices... of course if rc_fancy_color=3D"NO" then fancyiness will be B+W. I'd like to know if ther= e are better choices than Red/Green/Yellow. To me Red/Green/Yellow make sense to a lot of people because of their relation to our driving system here in the states. Maybe something like Error=3DYellow, Good=3DBlue, Warn/Notice= =3DGreen is a better choice across the board. -- > Mike Meyer > http://www.mired.org/consulting.html > Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= " >
