The colours are now options. There's currently no Chocies GUI to set them, but you can set them manually from the Choices file. Add these lines for black on white: gui_colour_bg_1:ff gui_colour_fg_1:00 gui_colour_fg_2:ff or for white on black: gui_colour_bg_1:00 gui_colour_fg_1:ff gui_colour_fg_2:00 Note that if we change to a treeview rendering style like http://www.netsurf-browser.org/temp/treeview/ then the meaning of those Choices options may change. -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

It was changed when I intended to revamp the entire look of treeviews anyway, and someone said they couldn't see the white icons on white recently. I've not got round to changing the treeview style because I got mired in improving the existing code first.

I'm not sure this was true: I think it depended on where the mouse ended up relative to the active text area.

Appears to be okay here r11053. I guess my question is quite trivial... The colour. 1) How to change it? If not changeable... 2) How to get rid of it? Thanks Dave -- Dave Triffid

Editing hotlist entries
We can now edit the title of entries in the hotlist once again (hooray!) However, I'm having a lot of trouble doing so, since Netsurf keeps closing the writable icon I'm typing into and putting the cursor into the icon below (so I end up editing the URL instead of the page title). It seems to be happening whenever I use the Shift key (with arrow keys or just to type capitals!) r11015 (05 Dec 2010) - can anyone else see this behaviour? -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == Even a cabbage may look at a king.
