Green [ ok ] messages

[rasher]

I was annoyed that during boot, only the status messages showing [fail] got coloured (red), so I created a very simple patch that makes the [ ok ] messages appear in green.

The patch applies to /lib/lsb/init-functions

I'm not at all sure this belongs in "Ubuntu Screenshots / Art Talk", but I figured it was about making Ubuntu pretty, and I didn't know where else to put it.

I know what you're talking about, and how to apply it, but howabout explaining how to apply the patch for those that don't know.
