Where did this stupid meme that we don't have a color changing ui
because we don't want people to change colors come from? It totally
false, and makes no sense whatsoever. I guess if you repeat lies often
enough people will think they are true. We don't have such a ui (and we
never had one) because nobody did the work. I assume nobody did the work
because nobody personally thinks its high priority to work on.

Maybe now that everyone in the world suddenly thinks the most important
feature of a computer is to change ui colors someone will send in a
patch.
