Hi don,

Isn't going anywhere, will be just the same.

Surely, full colors customization, and I try to keep current coloring logic intact (built-in components' selection/highlight logic is a bit different).

Absolutely.

In v1.1.5 it can't be customized for various (and quite boring) reasons.
Anyway - this doesn't matter much, since what is called Modern presentation in current versions - is more or less the same stuff as Classic presentation, and this code will be replaced too.
New UI will of course support fonts customization.

Thanks, this will help, I hope to show some usable (perhaps barely) preview in November.
My current major concerns in emulating of "old" Classic mode is about frames and all that decoration stuff - monospaced fonts treating is easy, but drawing ASCII art like "╣", "═", "╔", etc inside a standard system components (NSTableView/NSCollectionView) seems to be nearly impossible to implement.
