I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that having the option to change the WINGs color would drive off old users, but the idea is that we already like it the way it is, right? And there's always a small price to pay in terms of code size (I haven't checked in this case though), so that's why I think it's prudent to be on the conservative side by default. Small concessions here and there build up in the end. But as I said before the WINGs patch will be accepted, since it makes the code a bit more readable along the way (that's my attempt to look at the "half full glass"). At this point I think we could better chase new users by improving our documentation in the windowmaker.org site. It would be great if people with pedagogic and marketing abilities would devote some time to the content of our website. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
