Why does the regexp in the subject line not whitelist everything?

I should probably have asked:

Why does the adblock-plus icon in the menubar stay red when I use the whitelist regexp
@@/^.*$/
?

I'm used to see a green icon on pages that have been whitelisted.

The whitelisting seems to be working, it's just the icon that has the "wrong" color?

I registered. I should have done so right away. Sorry for reacting to my own posts.

As far as I understood, the green icon appears when you whitelist the page (not sure about what happens when you whitelist a sub page). With your rule you are whitelisting all the items in the page, but not the page itself.

In that case, is it true that

@@/^http:\/\/.*$/

whitelists all sites, while

@@/^.*$/

whitelists all items on the current page? If so, where is that documented?

Yes, well, I did read those docs quite a while back. But I don't think the text there is very clear. Anyways, I'll just stumble on till I get it working.
