This is just implementation issue because you can just turn the 
texture off. This would be good also if you like to present something to 
many people like bigger seminars, when black on white or white on 
black would be best.

Hey, those were nerds ;)


> Hmm.. I and jvk seem to dislike the new multifocus buoyoing.

I'm not either very convincing of the multifocus. You also need to 
remember that buoyoings are not ready yet. One of the reasons for 
multifocus was overlapping buoys. They already overlap inside one 
system but with two focus atleast I can't see more overlappines of buoys 
because of geometry bugs.

Other cons:

   - Buoyoing is not developed for two main nodes, i.e. link can't go to 
     other main node even it should if it's the natural fragment of link 
     'end'.
       - this can be solved with redesign of course.
 
   - linking to left-rigth would be more natural to make if the main 
     nodes are next to other in horizontal direction.
       - see previous 

   - Browsing doesn't really need two focus
       - link targets can be shown with fragment in some corner or such.

   - When building the graph how often you really need two focus an for 
     what?

Ok, there have been some discussion of the FenPDF vision but 

> I feel it messy/confusing.

can't be used as a very constructive discussion here. Yes, it's a good 
start - something need to be done. I propose that because we should  
ourselves use it also everyone's word must be heard and also everyone's 
should say his word because otherwise it's not our but one to three 
developers product. It's the one that combines all pieces.

You saw more context and that made it easier to adapt.
Linear list is also easier as a structure.

It hasn't.

Why do people stick to issues what are definitely not very important or 
just an opinion?-)
