Bug 154436 – app-portage/elogv enhancement

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) 2006-11-08 01:21:20 UTC]

Hi, I made a small patch to elogv for my convenience:

- added "normal" colorset to be able to change background color
- added background filling for upper and lower pane
- automatically display highlighted elog when app starts or highlight is moved
- changed "f" to "space" (easier to hit, only needed for scrolling long file now .-)

Maybe you're interested, otherwise I'll keep it local ^^

Regards,

Wolf

Oh, forgot ... made an ugly hack to give "Del" the "dd" functionality; this is definitely ugly, though (verbatim copy, he he).

I am not upstream of this software, maybe you should contact him.  If there is no reaction, I think I can patch that software.

Ok, CCing. Excuse the spam (one more ...)

I don't like much the white background. With the black background, colors like magenta, red and green are more readable.

Good idea, I will apply this on the next release (0.5). Thanks

True (going to modify colors a bit), but I didn' like the black. Anyway, it's just one more color pair you can easily change. Plus, it fills both boxes with the colors you select.

Hm, I just realized there's a little quirk: when running elogv under screen, it displays the background+border even when no files are present. It doesn't do that outside of screen. No clue as to why that is, you might want to look at it ^^.

I close it then...
