Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #12339: Propose users given way to disable blink in colour output https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339 <p> Thanks very much for the <code>color_output</code> option; I find it really helps make the test output much easier to decipher. </p> <p> However I find the blink style that is applied to unexpected serious errors to be unhelpful. It suffers the widely acknowledged design problems with a blink style (eg as mentioned here: <a class="ext-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_element"><span class="icon">​</span>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_element</a>). The problems are particularly exacerbated by the fact that the message often contains essential technical details that are much harder due to them intermittently disappearing. </p> <p> Please may I propose that this blink style is removed from the default colour scheme or that at least the user is given some option that allows them to turn off blink without sacrificing colour? </p> <p> Thanks very much. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339 Trac 1.4.3 Raffi Enficiaud Tue, 23 Aug 2016 21:40:58 GMT owner, status changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">Gennadiy Rozental</span> to <span class="trac-author">Raffi Enficiaud</span> </li> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">assigned</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Raffi Enficiaud Tue, 23 Aug 2016 21:41:12 GMT severity changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>severity</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Optimization</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Cosmetic</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Raffi Enficiaud Tue, 04 Oct 2016 06:49:02 GMT milestone changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>milestone</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">To Be Determined</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boost 1.63.0</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Raffi Enficiaud Tue, 01 Nov 2016 18:54:42 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339#comment:4 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12339#comment:4</guid> <description> <p> I removed the blinking and replaced with underline.
