> Switch to Modern view? :)

Verbose View seems more comfortable to use for me, as the hashes are
more prominent, so easier to read, easier to click, entries as a whole
are easier to copy-paste (only one triple-click to select all, no
mouse move required), and also easier to read when copy-pasted (now
that the parenthesis are back).

While talking about the views, please allow me some Compact View bashing:

Compact View looks plain and elegant, I agree. But whenever I view the
timeline, I'd either like to SEE THE HASHES (to check-out or merge a
specific version), or CLICK THE HASHES (to view the check-in details
and diffs). I never just browse my comments ;-)

With Compact View, I need to do a not-so-intuitive click on the
comment (that has always been plain text to me) to make the hash
appear, move the mouse pointer over the unpredictable position of the
now visible hash, and finally click the hash.

But if I get it right (without building and trying the latest version)
there's a config option to set the default view to Verbose View
(without having to explicitly select it and store the option as a
cookie).

Verbose View definitely works best, for me.

I don't think so. Adding the CSS to display the parenthesis means
maintaining your own custom skin?

Warren Young:

> $ fossil conf export skin foo
> …upgrade Fossil, switch repo to skin you wish to merge…
> $ fossil conf merge foo

Sounds easy. But on shared web hosting, with limited shell access, and
a total of 10-15 repositories, this already makes me edgy. I have also
tried using a shared skin loaded from a directory using the "skin:"
CGI control line, but then the skin is missing on local machines.

Thank you very much for this change. With "physical" (as opposed to
"spiritual-CSS") parenthesis, readability is also fine when
copy-pasting timeline entries.
