Actually, a color message with two arguments sets background and label, leaving foreground color unchanged (in Pd <= 0.46). > I think the old behavior is horribly confusing. Until now, I wasn't aware that all iemguis behave the same regarding colors. The new behavior would have worked for old versions of Pd, but it never occurred to me, since the documentation for [cnv] clearly suggests using only two arguments (background, label), while all other iemguis require three arguments. Thus, I used only two arguments whenever setting the label color for [cnv]s dynamically. The change of behavior breaks quite a few patches of mine. This doesn't mean I'm opposed to introducing sanity in that matter (it's quite easy to fix), but I'm wondering how many other patches with non-trivial GUI designs would be affected. > I'm not sure whether to consider it a bug or a 'feature' - and whether > back compatibility is more important than making the color-settings sane. I'm not even sure what is more sane. The new behavior forces the use of a redundant middle argument when setting the label of a [cnv].
