Hi,

just having a look at the new d.m green background color and trying to 
find something a bit more muted.

Specifically I was trying to find something that matched the GRASS 
website's green.  (197:226:202)

"HoneyDew2" is about the closest I could spot.

I think the original "lightgreen" was too strong, maybe "HoneyDew2" is
too drab?

Anyway I have now changed d.m in CVS so the background color setting is
in one place at the start of d.m.tcl. You can set it to any of the
standard X colors. Explore options with "xcolor" or online:
  http://www.ce.unipr.it/cgi-bin/spaw/guelich/xcolors.cgi

I don't really think we need a menu item to let the user set this. 
It's easy enough and educational for control freaks any A-type
personalities to edit the tcl file directly if they want to.


other d.m biz:
 the barscale.tcl button doesn't display its help icon.
 the labels.tcl button needs the new -i flag added.
 for me the mouse-over ToolTips font is Huge.
 fixed the intro.gif.. got corrupted again.
 some list items get caps, others don't? (Legend 1, label 1, Chart 1, ...)
 FreeType icon could use a graphics designer.

Otherwise you've got it all looking very spiffy.


cp display/d.m/display.gif vector/v.digit/icons/redraw.gif
? or place inside old v.digit monitor icon so it makes more sense?
