Hmmm. No - just from the tar.gz version. We (my flunkie did much of the work
^_^;;) noticed it had the files in there for debian packaging, and hadn't heard
anything on the site or mail lists about it being in unstable/testing at that
time.

I'll check out the proper Debian package...

(A few minutes later...)
Oooh! Apt-gettable CSS plugin too! Hmmmm. Maybe in README.css you should
include the name of the package. -_^
(I'm guessing it's xine-dvd-css, after some rummaging?)

If it was grayscale, then the two colours it used were close to each other. ^_^
I can't remember what discs I checked with. Next time I get time to experiment
I'll try it out again.
