I have finally completed and merged my refactor of the NetSurf user option code.
This means that user options files will now only contain the options which differ from the defaults. This will alow us to alter the defaults in future and have everyones choices actually update instead of being overidden by old saved default values that might not be useful. There may be a small but annoying side effect to this chnage in that many people will have bad default settings saved in their Choices files already which will now be faithfully applied even if they are unwanted. The principle place this will be observed is with system colours. These are the colours exposed as specifically named css properties [1] and can be seen on test pages [2] NetSurf also uses these colour settings throughout the UI for several platforms. Each platform sets its own defaults and the users configuration is available to override these settings. Up to this point the system colour configuration and setup has been somewhat flawed and will probably have resulted in most users saved Choices containing a set of overrides setting all these colours to black! (0) If you experience such behaviour with CI builds after #1212 please edit your Choices file to remove all the entries beginning with "sys_colour_" they should not reappear subsequently (unless you would like black controls, labelled in black on a black background, with a little black light that lights up black to let you know you have done it.)
