Choosing a non-black background isn't bad per se, but it limits the number of colors you can use for foreground, and a dark grey isn't much better. Generally you should use no color unless you'd like to draw attention. Use blue for unimportant things, red if you want to alert. Never use red and blue close to each other, because they need different focussing in the eye, and trying to see both will cause a headache. The layout is possibly good for large screen sizes, but you should design it for 80x24 first. Having to install X11 or a framebuffer console just to configure a kernel is no good. In other words: You don't permanently need half a screen of instructions, hide them by default and offer a popup. The window below the title is the only working area, it can be maximized. (Looking at "make menuconfig", I see the same mistakes.) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
