Support for colorblind users #104

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Some JOBS users are unable to distinguish red from green.

While a workaround is creating an entirely new skin with different colors,
a more elegant solution would be for job color codes to be pulled from user
attributes, e.g.:

&JOBCOLOR_R me=m

Then instead of ansi(r,foo) the code would call
ansi(default(%#/JOBCOLOR_R,r),foo)

This could be a plugin or just a rewrite of the base skins.  Interestingly,
this may make WHITEBG obsolete as I think most of the changes can be done
in this manner.

colorsub.txt patch, r325 and added to downloads section.

Will include in 6.1 release.

Install the patch and then &JOBCOLORS me=hr hc|hm hb (subs hc for hr, hb for 
hm, etc.)

A better system than substituting colors is using color styles.  Issue 107 
explores
one implementation of this, although the skins-as-objects is optional; the color
overrides could be done even if skins remain on the Job Database.
