Re: Problems with setup colors in snapshot

Hmm, weird -- for me the foreground color of the icons is *always*

Unfortunately, a: this isn't the case for me, and b: as you've so astutely pointed out, if it was that would still be problematic :-). (In reality, I've learned that *someone* is always going to exercise poor design and so I usually pick a background light enough for black to be at least marginally visible against it).

Besides, I was wrong -- the foreground isn't always black, it may sometimes be the inverted background color.

That was *my* first thought, but obviously that's not what I'm seeing. I'd be curious if anyone *does* know what's happening, because I can't figure it out (not without digging in the code, at least). :-)


I wish I could get to it, but I don't have the time right now :-(. I
would appreciate if someone else can do it, otherwise if I haven't heard
anything I may try to tackle this myself when I *do* have time.

Actually, I looked into this last night, and it turned out to be not too bad for the common case. There are still some glitches left, but it's better than what we have now. I'll send a preliminary patch to cygwin-apps shortly.

Thanks... I'll let you and Brian get your heads together and figure this out. Again, let me know if you need any help.


Yeah, I'm too lazy to go download it right now and send a private e-mail,
etc... I was hoping they watch the list ;-).

No need to download anything:
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/setup/ChangeLog?rev=2.547&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=cygwin-apps>


BTW, private emails are really discouraged, and most people working on
setup do read this list.

That was the *other* reason I just said it here ;-). Oh... ok, and it took a while to actually find the change (in 2.511). Thanks (again) Brian.


And thanks for the pointer, I'll try to remember that. :-)
