Consider porting ztoys art special case from Roost 1.0 OR Background color configurability? #66

Open dovej opened 10 years ago

Roost 1.0 special cased -c ztoys -i art by setting a dark background for those messages. This is because the output of ztoys art is intended for dark background viewing. I think this is a bit fluffy, so very very very low priority and maybe we don't want to do it at all. More generally, longer term and maybe even fluffier, do we want to let people set the background color of classes/instances? I'll stop now before I get any crazier.

I feel I should note that 1) it's reasonable to assume that the special case is only there because the doofus who wrote the bot was close friends with the maniac who wrote the client, and 2) it's reasonable to guess there might be interest in, say, ztoys/art being a Chiron extension and invocable from anywhere, so you should perhaps start thinking about the general solution (opcode, custom ztext tag, or similar?).
