A consequence of getting the incremental-refresh logic right.

It's a difficult balancing act. A lot of the people asking for color changes aren't aware of some of the constraints -- one of them being that 12% of the male population has red-green color blindness. Blue turns out to be about the only color that people with any form of color blindness can recognize.

That's right. Green means "visited or set".

I know. The basic problem here is that the configurator has to recalculate visibilities for every item in the new nenu. I have some ideas for speed- tuning this.

Yes. There is at least one more major speedup I may be able to get out of this. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a>
