Re: [PATCH] Right click option to change layer and render color

 

Hey Wayne

I fixed the coding policy violations. I blame my text-editor's trailing
whitespace detector being broken all of a sudden
<https://github.com/SublimeText/TrailingSpaces/issues/121> and the spaces
thing being weird XD.

The updated patches are attached to this mail. Let me know if you find any
other issues.

Greetings
Seppe
