Well, zas and me discussed creating a more complex system for configuring the "color model" (see doc/color-model.txt) but it never got further than the above document and frankly I am not sure if it is worth it. I think the color picker does an OK job, but maybe my color blindness is just playing tricks with me. > I can't spend as much time tinkering with elinks now as I would have > liked so I'll probably live with it. Ok, but if you feel like modding up your ELinks you should really try the Spidermonkey Javascript scripting backend created by Miciah. It's fairly easy to get working on a debian system and it is currently one of the most developed scripting backends for ELinks.

Because the default background color in mozilla is white, where as you said you have configured your default background color to be black or something. > > Yes, the many config options is one of ELinks' biggest asset (and > > weakness ;-). > > I really don't see it as a weakness at all.

Having a sane default configuration is very important. The many options is a weakness if you end up scaring new users away.

Now you are just being nice. ;) I recall some of the options stem from developers not agreeing on a good default or rather, in a lot of cases it is easier to just add a new option than arguing whether or not the feature request makes sense. -- Jonas Fonseca _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
