There's a difference between finding color filters useful and finding a particular *set* of color filters useful.


I don't think anybody's arguing that color filters are never useful to anybody.

I'm just not yet convinced that we can supply a set of color filters that will be sufficiently generally useful. If 99% of the users end up creating their own color filters and throwing away the pre-supplied ones, it's not clear that it was worth supplying them....

If the underlying problem is just that people don't know that they *can* color the display, then

1) I don't know that supplying a standard set of color filters will help much - the user might well just assume that we've hard-wired the colors into the system, and *still* end up frequently asking the list how to color the display the way *they* want;

2) that sounds more like a documentation issue.
