People already are used to finding the shed in the scenery by looking for
that original color, however ugly the color might be.  The answer to your
question has to become quite different when you take that into account;
otherwise you are being irresponsible to your users.

People somehow got used to the ugly color, they'll get used to the
pretty one, in fact, they would probably like it better, and maybe
even thought more than once on changing it.

If they're the kind of people that don't like new things they'll
probably not be using git anyway.

You do not have to send two messages in a row to reaffirm that you are of
irresponsible kind.  I heard you enough already.

Go away.

Junio, what got into you?

I've always admired your calm and reasoned way to deal with even the most obnoxious people, and unlike more abrasive people on this list I've never seen you say "Go away" to anybody here.

Especially because I agree with you that calling pretty-printing as "pretty" isn't so broken to make such a big deal out of, it would be better not to chase a potentially useful contributor away on such a minor issue.
