New Console UI

[nick]

hello all.

i've started work on a new version of the console ui. it's less command-line and more gui... ish. still all using curses. The code is at: https://github.com/nicklan/newconsoleui.

you can hit 'h' when it starts up to see a help dialog.

right now it tries to connect to localhost and doesn't support any non-standard config on that front. one of the next things to do is add something like the gtkui's connection manager. there's also no way, currently, to set config values, which needs to be added in the future.

actually managing torrents is quite nice however (at least in my experience).

so, i'm curious what people think, both about the ui itself and the code. comments and criticism welcome.

thanks!

I love the new console ui but it'd be great if there was an easy way to define colour schemes. Looking at ui/console/main.py and ui/console/colors.py there doesn't seem to be any user override at the moment.

Working on a patch atm to match the scheme with the rest of my console apps but I'm not familiar enough with deluge to submit a proper upstream patch for user configuration though.
