Re: toolbar picks up -bg

The argument we have had to date has been that the widgets and default face should be different colours. I always though Kyle opposed changes that set the modeline etc colors to achieve this because he wanted the default face and modeline to be the *same* color. But actually he wants -bg/-fg to set the characteristics of the widgets (correct me if I'm wrong Kyle) and the fact that the modeline is the same color as the default face is a by product of his implementation. Now I actually agree with Kyle that -bg/-fg should set the colors of the widgets. I think this is what happens in other X apps, and makes things CDE friendly, say. My latest fix makes the modeline (and other gui elements) pick up -bg directly instead of inheriting from default. This has the effect of preserving Kyles desired behaviour but also making the modeline and default face look different if you set the default face background. I think this is a step forward since it means people do not have to specifically set the modeline face to resinstate the behaviour they want. The outstanding issue now (as I see it) is that by default -bg affects the default face as well. I agree with Didier on this, it should not look the same as the widgets and IMHO we should therefore set the _default face background_ to something sensible. This is different to my position 2 days ago when I though we should set the modeline etc to be something sensible. But I don't think we are going to resolve this for 21.0. andy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- " .sigs are like your face - rarely seen by you and uglier than you think" Dr Andy Piper, Technical Architect, Parallax Solutions Ltd mail: andyp(a)parallax.co.uk web: www.parallax.co.uk/~andyp
