IMHO this is still a very poor choice
its quite unpractical to require users to manually reconfigure their system
because some developer refuses to write the 3 standard pathes in the code.
and thats for a odd feature, if every filter required that setup of ffmpeg
would not be fun anymore

not for me, but i dont really care about it, if you prefer to use non K&R
style now ill be the last person to make a fuzz about it, ive better things
to do than {} placement discussions

i dont mind but the html way of specifyimg colors should be supported too
because its more standard
