I gave the whole series a look. The TUI changes were a bit alien
to me. I sent comments on the patches where I had questions;
otherwise, those I didn't comment on looked fine to me.
I really look forward to this series making it to master, it would
be a nice feature to advertise on the release that includes it.
The source highlighting is also a very nice touch!
One feature I might volunteer to work on once the series is in
is to provide two sets of defaults for the colors - one to be used
when the terminal has a dark background vs one to be used when
the terminal has a light background. I think the way ou added
colorizing should make it easy to do.
That's all I had to say as a summary. Thanks a lot for those.
I think people are going to enjoy this enchancement. At least
I know I will!
