I'm not asking you to apply the patch to tip, I'm simply posting the patch for other people that may also like their existing color scheme to remain unchanged. That said, I don't really think the current method of "increase the color number" actually guarantees the replacement color will actually be brighter outside the grayscale range, and on my monitor, the change in color by brightening them is too drastic for me to consider many of the replacements the same color as the unadulterated values; in the screenshot I posted, what was once green became yellow, and what was once blue purple. Although colors are a very subjective thing, perhaps a more sophisticated method could be used to brighten colors that makes this less of an issue. Eric
