Re: [9fans] Colors and other fun

I like hardcoded colours.
I like them because they add consistency to the whole enviroment. For
almost all plan 9 applications you know that "green" means menu or
action, light yellow is somewhere to write, etc...

Sadly some apps have been developed without following that "colour
standard". It would be very good from a "usability pov" (please, don't
flame me on that) to establish the meaning of each colour. Then we
should forget about "colours" and start thinking about the meaning of
whatever we  want to show.

There is only one thing that perhaps could allow in my humble opinion
some change.... And it is the wallpaper colour. (I love wallpaper
patterns ;) Not photos or drawings, but tesselations and other
patterns).  We could perhaps use the wallpaper color to mean
"something"... Just a couple of thoughts.

The good thing here is that anyone can get it in any flavour...
(Lucuma yogurt for me, please)

Cheers!
