I wanted minimal effort as I noticed the style sheet behind it was terribly over complicated, so, while its not the best colour scheme ever invented, i didnt wanna mess with Nicks work too much, just tone it to less green!

I'll let him know about ihatethecapslockkey.com.

This will be helpful to all Delphi users especially new users that are unfamiliar with the language or new to programming in general. The faster we can help them the earlier they will later be able to contribute to the Delphi community. As a side effect it also shows that Delphi is a force to reckon with. <br> <br>The idea is good and every Delphi coder should help on Wikipedia updates and also on the Delphi Wiki. However I do not think CodeGear should spend their time there. CodeGear should put their effort on the development of Delphi, VCL and Object Pascal, i.e. all the thing that the we outside CodeGear can not change, but which we all need to make Delphi top of line. <br> <br>Doei RIF <br> Hoi m.Th.

Is that blue good feng shui? Ah, come on, the color blind haven’t had their vote yet, I gotta figure some groups probably just see a pale shade of whatever. Is that blue good feng shui?
