Re: Shaded Background Patch

[Guido Draheim <guido.d@gmx.de>]

Hi all,

the shaded colors patch is now available from
http://sourceware.de/xwpe/
along with the other patch (the unixbak patch).

May be someone could bring about a real nice
colorscheme that includes good background colors,
personally I just change the grey values
in my xwpe versions (although the patch does more...)

best regards
