Although a bunch of the newer Apps have some kind of support build in, it is very noticeable that the color features haven't been tested thoroughly. Anyway one of the things I would like to have in the moment is a terminal emulator in which I could specify the color of the background, font, border etc. Does anyone know if the source for maybe stuart or so is available so I could modify it ? Just black and white (or various shades of gray) get a little dull after a while. You're about the third (or was that 30th?) person to request something of the sort. Since Stuart still doesn't even support modification of the grays, this is a little ways off. The biggest problem I see for color support with Stuart is the apparent lack of a color machine in my dorm room. If anyone out there wishes to push color support in Stuart, feel free to UPS me a colorstation. I'd want at least 24M of RAM, and a 400M hard disk. PS: Don't expect the machine back anytime soon, either :-).
