I'd love to see this by default, yes. Maybe a 2.0 change? If people agree that this is a good change, would we need a transition plan? I'd say no, as there is no real backward incompatibility involved. People who dislike colors can already set color.ui=false, and seeing colors can hardly harm them, just temporarily reduce the comfort for them. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
