Hey! I'm  trying to build decker on linux and I'm getting an error. Mind you that I have close to 0 coding knowledge and its a miracle I'm able to even use linux so the problem  might be obvious.

make: *** [Makefile:66: c/build/decker] Error 1

I'm slightly surprised/confused by the behavior of the new pattern/color support in text fields.

It seems as if the pattern doesn't persist past whatever text you initially marked with that pattern. If I write out some text and make it green, if I continue to then write further text past that, it will revert back to the default black, and my new added text will be black. I also can't set the whole field to a specific pattern, so as to change that black default, at least not from what I can see from the GUI.

This is in contrast to the behavior when changing fonts, where the behavior is such that any text I write past the point where I changed the font will continue to be in that font. This does have some wrinkles that aren't always intuitive when mixing fonts, but it does mean I continue to write into a text field in that font as expected without any special interaction, and I can save myself even those headaches by just setting the font property of the field itself, thus insuring that it defaults back to that font.

I bring all this up because it sort of negatively effects my workflow to how I've been working with text fields for the current project. When I'm writing a long card of text, usually my method is just to make one large field on the card, set the default font of that, and then I take advantage of interact mode's ability to just write directly into the field. Makes it easier to write long texts rather than doing it in the field properties. 

But this kinda doesn't work with the color support, because I can't set the field to be all one color and just write away. Plus, on my current project, the text is over a mostly black background, so it's unreadable until I change the color. It's a minor detail, and I can work around it, it's just unexpected I guess.

I have some cards with a bunch of fields in them, and I want them to line up nicely, so I used the “snap to grid” function. Eventually I decided that the default 16x16px grid was a bit too chunky, and dropped down to an 8x8px grid so I could have spaces smaller than a field, as well as larger.

But now when I need to adjust a field, I have to go in and change the grid spacing back to 8x8px every time - it defaults to 16x16px every time I start Decker.

Is there a way to have the default grid size stored in the deck?
