Are you actually seeing it now in the builds? You
shouldn't be, and if you are then that is a bug on
my part. It should have silently gone into the source
tree without disturbing anyone (except for the fact
that you had to do a full re-compile).
As for the colors ... I don't think that we should
tone them down =;-) Black on Yellow is high contrast
and allows you to see the update characters whereas
Black on Blue or something else is not as good. I
didn't want to put logic into the code for checking
the colour, finding the best contrast etc.
