I like the idea that there is a modeline indicator for modified files, but I'm not convinced it has to be obvious. Seeing as all this is a matter of personal opinion I find CVS*1.21 ugly and I dont find CVS:1.21 that pretty either. My preference is CVS+1.21 (mnemonic: additions have been made to version 1.21). > Maybe it's more obvious in XEmacs, but... boy it's ugly!! Yeah I agree with this and with Stephan's other comments regarding background highlighting (well except for the rounded corners thing). Changing the foreground color would be my choice for a default customization. -- Peter Whaite (http://whaite.ca)
