[...]

OK, let me put it another way.  I have "wanted"[1] the color to be
"#cccccc" from the beginning.  I used "gray80" because I thought
(erroneously) that "gray80" and "#cccccc" were equivalent.  As I find
that they are not, we will have to back out to "#cccccc".

Does that show what I mean with more clarity?


[1]
The quoting in "wanted" denotes that I didn't really want that color.
A darker color, or something like "tan" would have been more to my
choice (although I do work with gray80 in my current environment,
because I believe that I should at least be able to work with the
color I chose for default).  See my other recent mails for arguments
why gray80.  Sometimes it seems to me that it is akin to choosing the
name `XEmacs'.  A compromise that noone likes.  Bah.  Still better
than white, though. :-)


P.S.
Steve, the footnotes are contagious.  I just love making them bigger
than the rest of the text. :-)
