Perhaps we could have a knob at the bottom of the page, but that isn't very satisfying a solution either... :-( Another possibility is to make the height dynamic and in proportion with the number of affected files. Or combine both the color and dynamic height. I believe changing the color to red would make it appear as black for the red-color-blind people? -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ VI has two modes: the one in which it beeps and the one in which it doesn't.
