Stay on that soapbox.The imposition of ultra low contrast, gray on gray 
text is simply poor design with very little regard for legibility.
It's not like we have an ink shortage.

We might need to specify what style we're looking for.  Something more
like MS Office / Google Docs.?  Sublime Text 2 maybe?  The GitHub
Desktop interface?

Also, styles change but not always for the best - I'm noticing a lot of
gray on gray stuff on web pages these days that I find very annoying.

A prize for better looking Qt style sheets?

[Edward K. Ream]

Leo's look is very important, both as a lure to newbies and as a source of 
joy (or otherwise) to experienced users. 

Terry suggests Leo's stodgy look could be improved with better Qt style 
sheets.  Surely we can do better, but I, with my geriatric eyes, am not the 
one to do it.

Would substantial prizes would encourage development?  I am thinking of 
$250 each for the best looking Linux and Windows style sheets.

Any comments?  Any potential contestants?

That would quickly become irritating.  Rev ddb87d9 removes this cruft from 
the startup log.

Use the new show-spell-info command to see the location of the user 
dictionary, and other info about the main dictionaries, depending on the 
spell checker.

I should emphasize that Leo will use pyenchant automatically if it is 
available.

You can tell when the default checker is running because you will see 
something like this in the console window:

  9348 words in  local dictionary: c:\Users\edreamleo\.leo\spellpyx.txt
 77241 words in global dictionary: C:\Users\edreamleo\.leo\

#700: Create a default spell checker for when pyenchant is not available 
 is ready for serious

I have just upload the main spelling dict, main_spelling_dict.txt, to 
Leo/Miscellaneous 
on SourceForge . 
*Important*: The main dictionary is not large enough to be truly useful.  #711: 
Create bigger default spelling dicts 
 asks for help with 
this project.

The dictionaries are assumed to be in the following locations:

Main dictionary:

~/.leo/main_spelling_dict.txt

User dictionary:

@string enchant_local_dictionary or
leo/plugins/spellpyx.txt or
~/.leo/spellpyx.txt.

All questions, comments and bug reports are welcome.

Btw, the 32-bit version is essential for checking that creating a default 
spell checker doesn't break pyenchant support.  See #700: Create a default 
spell checker for when pyenchant is not available. 


#700 isn't so important now that there is a clear route to spell checking.  
However, spell checkers create distribution issues, so I think to handle 
everything is right now, while details are fresh in my mind.

Well, it's no good whinging about javascript syntax. Invention is required.

js_i.starts_block return True if the line should start a new node.  It 
might more profitably look for lines that *don't/can't* start a function.  
But this seems like a dubious idea now that I look into it.

In the example given above, looking for '=>' would work...

​Many thanks for these lengthy comments.  I've put a link to them at the
start of #710 . This
info item won't ever close, so your notes should remain readily accessible.

It looks like it is possible to create a 32-bit version of Leo on Windows,
so pyinstaller should work again on Windows. If so, everything will as it
was previously.  No changes needed to NSIS.

Leo's diff-marked-nodes command only compares two outlines at a time.  This
may not be good enough. If not, I'll create some new commands, probably
based on Leo's git-diff command.
