I personally like seeing the green background, since I do like seeing how much jank there is. It doesn't bother me at all. That said, I can see how it'd annoy some people. If most people dislike it, then I think we should just make it the same as the release behavior (use a white background), but I think it'd be nice to have a command line flag or a preference or something so I can run with a green or whatever background to aid in debugging jankiness. > > -- > James Hawkins > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
