  • Message Lister - colours

    From Art@FATCATS to Nightfox on Thu Oct 29 17:51:58 2009
    Hey Nightfox,

    Is there a way to customise the colours in your Message Lister tool?

    I've edited the .cfg file however none of the changes seem to be having any effect. I'm using Reverse.js, if that matters.

    Thanks!

    You should be able to customize the colors by editing the .cfg file, but you're right, the configuration file doesn't seem to be having an effect. This must be a new bug, because I haven't seen this before. I'll have a look into it. Thanks for letting me know.

    I've found and fixed the bug and have put up a new version, available here: ftp://digdist.bbsindex.com/bbs/SYNC_JS/ddml_113.zip

    Hey Nightfox, no problems.

    I actually quite like the ML... however I have a few suggestions:

    - could we edit the header part of the mail display?
    - change subs/groups
    - post new
    - option supress the "are you sure you want to read" message... yes we're sure, we pressed enter...(?)

    I tried to make it the only mail reader on my bbs however found that without those features, it was a little bit klunky, but definitely on the right track... I love the whole (al)pine/mutt/tin feel, if you could extend it to do all the core messaging functions then I'd definitely be using it as the only means of reading messages on my bbs.

    Kind regards,
    Art

    I've debated whether to extend its functionality to include more message features, but (at least for the time being), I had decided not to because my intent with this message lister was not to provide an entire replacement for Synchronet's message reading/posting features. My intent was just to provide a simple message lister with some added features, to compliment what Synchroent already has. I'd feel that if I added much more to it that I'd be re-inventing the wheel. I've noted your suggestions though, and I may end up adding them. I actually have considered adding a way to change subs/groups..
