[Pharo-project] Monticello merge tool fail - need strikethrough for deleted code - be friendly to red-green colour blind people!
Hi Folks, While updating the Monticello chapter of Pharo By Example to the current Pharo GUI, I discovered that diffs in the merge tool (and elsewhere) no longer show deleted code struck through, but only in red, with new code in green. This is a major fail for colour blind people! It also does not show when printed in grey-scale. Can we have the strike-through back? It is an important visual cue. - on

After some investigation the "standard" diff stuff had the colours/font changed by Damien Pollet late last year... As for the Polymorph diff views, could be tricky (especially with regards for printing since not just text). The colours used in the DiffMorphs could be made configurable, however.
