Stop acting as if everyone was using the new possibilities. Those
setttings
are still valid. Rockbox can be perfectly used without sbs or ui viewport
at
all. Those are additional features, not requirements. Also, you can put a
"-" in the viewport definitions for the colors in which case the global
settings are used.


set the colours to - and watch what happens when you change the
colours manually.

It doesn't apply until after a reboot. It appears you introduced that bug
then lately, because I kept it working with my custom ui vp and sbs patches.
Anyway, that one is easy to fix and doesn't make them obsolete.

Best regards.

its the same argument about which takes precedence, the ui viewport of
%Vi from the sbs, in this case its the colour setting or the colour
from the winner of the viewport one... the whole point is there should
be no argument anywhere because there should be no choice.
In actual fact, the only time the setting would ever make sense is if
the viewport can remember that its set to - and not a value, and even
then that would only work if the setting is loaded before the skin
(might be correct, but based on an assumption, not a spec).

circling back to the argument 2 months ago about which viewport gets
precendece... there is exactly one use case where it makes sense that
the setting exists, i.e if the user wants a smaller list than the
themer origionally allowed for in the sbs, which is now a mute point
because its a 1 line change in the sbs because we force the list to
fit inside it anyway.

Exactly, we had this discussion a few weeks ago already. And we got a consensus after a painful discussion. Why do you question that again now, coming with the very same arguments? You again mix two separate features together.

Is that how discussing with you works? Get a consensus just to re-enter the same topic a few weeks later because you didn't get what you want? I hope not.
