[Remind-Fans] Wyrd 1.4 complaints

[Martin Lorenz]

OK now...

as my temper is back to normal I can give some real critique:

I consider it not very good manners of a end-user program to change key
bindings and configuration syntax without warning
by warning I mean to warn the user of changes when he fist starts the ne
version...

I use wyrd for my everyday work and the way it behaved up to version 1.3 was
really ok.
to change the semantics of 'q' from 'quit' ot 'quick something' was not
nice. I reconfigured it now such that 'q' still means 'quit' and your 'quick
reminder' feature is on '+' - btw. the templating mechanism is all I need.
the quick reminder feature is not really useful for me.

The coloring is now relly awful as I cannot change the default background
for wyrd. or is there a feature I simply haven't found?
I use white as my shell background. but for wyrd I quite liked the black
back and configured my coloring accordingly. now i have colors which are
tuned for readability on black but the background is white.....

btw... who needs transparent shell-backgrounds?

wyrd is a really nice tool which I use productively every day but today it
drove me crazy and took me almost an hour of my time to get it back to what
I need just because of unnoticed changes introduced by an upgrade...
