I am colorblind, in fact, so much that I can't do my artwork w/o labelled
paint's and pencils!! I would have an ugly mess...another example is that I
can't distinguish between a RED or a GREEN traffic light at a distance..
almost didn't get my licencse cause of it... Now if THAT's not colorblind I
don't know what is...
My point is I have NO problems discerning the color coding.. I like the
color coding... it makes it easier to visually filter what you want to check
out...I think you are a slim minority Jiri.. not that your piont isn't
valid..
just unjust..
.... it IS a bit difficult picking out the linux files from the Dos ones..
Rob...
I would suggest modifying the colors to the primaries... RED for DOS, BLUE
for WIN, and YELLOW for linux, and GREY for the GEN..
I think less ppl would have problems with the colors this way.. as you cant'
get any more distinct than those colors. Or if you could find colors that
clash with each other, this might even be better..
BTW Rob:
thanks for adding the letter coding, works great with the search
engine...BUT!!!...is there a way to have the engine sort the listed files by
date? don't wanna DL stuff that is already released in a later version or
even outdated by now. if ya know what i mean...
...and how bout catagorizing the files by application for the engine as
well?..this is a lot to ask... but many times I've looked for something
specific and had a hell of a time trying to find it 'cause the files are
only sorted by name and platform. I think others would agree.. maybe I'm
missing something though....
Chris ( notice there is no fancy sig that other ppl can't read?...LEWIS!?
*HINT* *HINT* LOL)
