From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schinde...@gmx.de> After using this command extensively for the last two months, this developer came to the conclusion that even if the dual color mode still leaves a lot of room for confusion what was actually changed, the non-dual color mode is substantially worse in that regard.
Therefore, we really want to make the dual color mode the default.
