Actually, if you haven't, you might look at reportbug-ng. The color coding
of bug levels is configurable, which might be helpful for you.
The general display is html. Maybe it uses the default web browser and its
gui settings?
No python probs. Uses Qt.
P.S. Looks like I have to prepare for visual access probs in the future.
(Pun intended.) Wasn't happy to get the news on that. Then again, a lit
screen, well adjusted, might make some things clearer.
