Hi List!

I've just added a new check item "Colorize Packet List" into the View menu.

This will disable the coloring of the packet list, even if coloring
rules are available.

As coloring rules are using some performance, it's a good idea to
disable them if working with very large capture files.

In the former way, one had to remove all the rules from the list or
bring the rules setting file out of the way (e.g. renaming it), which is
a bit annoying.


Checking / unchecking of the menu item will immediately enable / disable
the coloring of the packet list.

The setting is kept in the recent file, so it will keep its state even
after a program restart.

Any comments?

Regards, ULFL
