According to the changelog, I added ASSUMED_COLOR in 2.8.3dev.23, and DEFAULT_COLORS in 2.8.6pre.4 (though the code used the feature since 2.8.3dev.18). But I made the color-style configuration the default in 2.8.6 - consensus was that it was an improvement. Occasionally (this past month is odd with _two_ comments about it) someone asks about it. The oldlynx script in lynx's samples directory makes it look almost the same as the non-color-style. (The "almost" is because links don't paint just the same way...). According to the changelog, I added the DEFAULT_COLORS setting to help with the oldlynx script, which looks like this:
<snip>Ok. As I said, I don't think the packagers of my rpm really intended yellow text on a white background, so I'll just say it is happening in the default configuration and that setting DEFAULT_COLORS to false gives the black background that their lynx.lss specifies. I'm not really fussy about the colors as long as I can make out the text. The oldlynx settings would be ok, as would the colors that I think they were trying for. I just don't think lynx should come up unreadable by default.
Thanks again, Stephen Isard
