I understand that. However, it is still a matter of personal judgement as to which areas of the "pattern" were designed to be the colour of the one part on which it was issued. Different people will potentially have different opinions. I'd rather not have to moderate that discussion for every patterned part that gets developed. For example with the gauge pattern, someone could quite justifiably challenge that they believe that entire background was "supposed to be" black.
I moved this discussion from the Parts Tracker to this forum in the hope that we might get some input from people who have not been quite so personally involved so far (i.e. the user community, rather then the author community). I think that we are still guessing what the users real needs are, which is never a good situation for software development.
