Re: Color changes

[Martin Kratoska]

Yes, I played a lot with Xresources but there is not a solution. For the 
better visibility to my old eyes I need simply to replace the "bright" 
cyan color with bright red color. That's all. I am looking into the 
source code where to change this single color. Cyan sucks! Otherwise the 
color scheme is excellent, ensuring low fatigue to my eyes, the cyan 
color is the ONLY problem...

Unfortunately I am not a programmer. (Interested who I am? See 
https://www.qrz.com/db/ok1rr). I don't find any joy in the sources etc. 
I go there if I must, if there is no other possibility. I am just an 
operator, I highly enjoy the ease to operate the tlf (the best of all 
contesting software overall!). I use tlf where I can, also where I don't 
need to observe my score, mults etc. online, so I can use tlf in most 
contests, although I have more painful work with the adjudicating if the 
contest has no direct support in tlf.

I see this list is one of low attendance. I posted my comments on the 
color scheme on Mar. 31, first response came from Zoltan on Apr. 10. Can 
I do something for faster response? Some of my requests remained 
unanswered which indicated that tlf is a matter of low importance to 
most list members.

My sincere apologies for my previous criticism. It is a result of 
"fatal" lack of Linux contesting software. Thank you for your friendly 
tollerance of my impatience, TNX!
