Description (last modified by alwin) (diff)
Problem: The current way of indicating the status of files and directories (new, changed, etc), which uses overlayed icons is sometimes hard to see: if icon color is similar to color of overlay, it's really hard to notice. This is exacerbated by the fact that kdesvn uses user-selectable kde icons (as well as different icons for different mime types), and the overlays look differently for different users.
Proposed solution: Change font and/or background color for items to indicate their status and allow the user to configure the colors (as well as enable/disable this feature).

I guess another solution to this problem would be to use own icons instead of kde's ones.

hm. own iconset isn't a good idea IMHO. Ok, may for simple files and dirs two flat icons may ok and user may configure using it... I'll think for a while about it.

The colors in 0.7.2 help a lot. Thanks!
However, some status types cannot be colored: for example, "locally missing" and "not versioned" are not highlighted. Is there a reason why they are left out?
Also, changing the font color without changing the background would look good (some people might prefer just chaning the font color and not the background).

The reason is quite simple: forgot it ;)
foreground: must made a little bit different so I have to see how to do that.

changing fonts makes no sense to me, color changes works meanwhile perfect -> fixed
