I am still questioning the advantage of colour the repo/version/groups in all the -s and -o outputs though. I see the advantage in highlighting the package name and the installed state. The rest I need to decide on.
Please don't remove any of the colourisation that's already present. If there's one thing I hate in life, it's when people decide to devolve something back to the dark ages (excuse the pun).
When running "pacman -Ss pacman", what is the advantage to every colour apart from the bold package name and the installed highlight? Lets start with the version. The version information is not important and always directly beside the highlighted package name. Are you ever looking for the version when you run a search? What functionality is there to justify the version being highlighted? If you can justify the need for the version to be green in the -s or -o output, I'd really like to hear it. Allan
