"Disabling" gnus-visual disables font properties (bold, underline,
italic) along with colors, which is something I do not want.  Setting
gnus-display-type to 'mono disabled colors without disabling anything
else.  That functionality "vector" has been eliminated.

Admittedly it was a hack, but it worked simply and elegantly, making it
a prize among hacks.

What I want to know, and nobody has provided an acceptable answer, yet,
is what has replaced it.  The utility that is supposed to make this
nigh-effortless is nigh-unusable for exactly the reasons I need to use
it.  The documentation is either totally useless or nonexistant.  The
source code is some of the most convoluted I have ever seen.

If I cannot find the answers in the "obvious" places, how can you expect
J. Random User to find them?
