I always felt that ADOM is one of the best-looking ASCII roguelikes. Somehow it manages to make good use of the available 16 EGA colours so that it's visually pleasing.

That's why the recent recent change in the manual text from brown to light grey disappoints me. Not only is it a more dull lifeless colour, but it also doesn't fit with the yellow as well and is no longer consistent with other menus that use a yellow-brown scheme. It feels lke a step backwards, especially as in earlier versions all menus were monochrome to begin with.

Recent prereleases

So, I'd like it be changed back to brown, or at the very least the brackets around the yellow letters.

I realise that this was done to make it consisent with the new commands menu, but I'd rather have it other way around.
