Last week I met a worker of Red Hat in a conference, and he tried to convience me about why is impossible to avoid that software become bloated. He thought that rule "99.9% of the people use only 10% of programs" was a good thing , and it means 90% of bloat code is necessary only for 0.1% of the user. This thread begins to be very similar t that discussion. Of course that "everyone does it" IS A HORRIBLE ARGUMENT, because it only causes bloated software. The only argument valid here is what is the best option. > But "brightening" colors by incrementing the number is?

You know, this is the point of open source, if you doesn't like something, you can change it. I can say you there are some features that I use and are not accepted in st (and I am one of the maintainers!), but I have to accept that not all the persons think like me. Maybe you should accept this point. Or better, try to find a solution to this problem that another suckless develepers would like to accept. Regards, -- Roberto E. Vargas Caballero
