Re: Color coded labels for editable fields

I am generally against multiple modes of operation as it is just more
ways for things to go wrong, more confusing for the user, more code 
paths and interactions.

I keep thinking there must be a better way of doing this.  What is the
harm in BitPim accurately storing more information than the current
phone can take?  How does it actually affect someone when a subset
is written to the phone?  How can we alleviate that?

Read this article:

Something that would be nice is working out how to get the
display stuff out of the code.  That would allow for easy
translations, as well as text mode and command line operation.
If we had that, then multiple modes of operation would be
a lot less brittle and many different variations could be
experimented with.
