When I first saw these displays, I thought that the point was that this display is more important than all the others, so it should be louder and easy to distinguish from the branch name (common ones, anyway). Do you have other ways of distinguishing the branch and the state? Colors? I'm a bit too lazy to check. Perhaps it could be made to only use caps if not in colored mode? -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch
