What 2 colours do you want? Or do you want it say, red if disabled, but stay black if enabled?
Im presuming you mean a colour of the rows/text, in the left hand list where it displays rules and subrules?
Just to make sure, so i dont go looking and changing colours on the wrong thing!

replies: text: The root of this issue - that AWB adds pages to the watchlist in the situation you decribe above, can be quite easily solved.  However, emloying this easier method means that any pages already on the watchlist but edited by the bot are removed, hence there can be problems.  The other way to do it is to either change the Wikipedia preferences (somethng I wouldn't really want to do), or add an AWB user setting "Allow AWB to over-ride my MediaWiki watchlist settings".

I see you can get an XML extract with a special URL of each, I can use a Perl script (my Python is pathetic) to parse my watchlist and extract the XML to a file - would that be anything useful?

text: I also think it's best as an option. The right click option removes all excess spaces in the text, so for example it will remove spaces where they have been purposely placed to ease editing (eg where they have been used to line up the parameters in an infobox or a cite template). I think it will also remove instances where two spaces are used after a full stop or in table construction. The end result is a diff that shows lots of changed lines, making it harder to identify what the purposeful change was. mattbr 21:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a way to add the ability to edit articles on other Wikimedia projects, with a proper interwiki link?  Right now to distribute the Signpost, I'm forced to do all edits manually, which is a royal pain- being able to do it logged out, semi-automatically or automatically would be an immense help to me.

Is it possible to skip existing pages? This will be helpful in creating missing articles. --(Sumanth|Talk) 08:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Suppose it would be possible. However, as a side point, a new logging feature is coming out in the next AWB, which will log none existant pages, and you would be able to filter by them. If this is not enough, make a request on the /Feature requests page. Reedy Boy 09:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be extremely easy to implement, I say just do it Reedy (make it an option, and make it saveable in the settings). Just reverse the logic for skip non-existing pages. (Or, how about making that option tri-state: skip non existing, skip existing, none). --kingboyk 11:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

text: It would be helpful if a setting option can be provided as suggested by Kingboyk (rather than a filter option). --(Sumanth|Talk) 11:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If something was implemented, we generally try to save a setting for it. But sure, it can be done. I'll have a look tonight for it. As Kingboyk said, its fairly easy to do. Reedy Boy 16:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm thinking of an option group control (does dotnet have those??) for this tri-state options. Checkboxes with some logic would work too. I'll have a word with you on MSN about it as the plugin already interracts with the "skip non-existing" box and I'm gonna extend that functionality shortly (i.e. it would be nice to know what kind of control we'll be using; I suppose alternatively I ought to have IAWBMainForm expose properties and property changed events rather than control objects anyway :)) --kingboyk 16:33, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
