Joe,

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I can tone down the background and make
the vocab names a little darker. It's a difficult balance because the
main reason that I want to highlight the code in the browser is to
effectively *hide* the USING: lines from the human eye as it scans the
document.

When I first started using Factor, the help browser was very
intimidating. It was difficult to look at a tuple definition and
actually figure out where the methods were because the long list of
vocab names were obscuring the important parts. I remember also being
confused the imports that were scattered throughout the tuple
definition because I was so used to seeing all the imports done at the
top of the source file in other programming systems.

My intent is to keep the syntax highlighting subdued, although there
are some interesting possibilities since you could actually do truly
semantic highlighting (color based on a word's effect-height, for
instance).

Slava, can you send me the original graphics files for Factor's UI
elements (buttons, scrollbars, etc.). Thanks.

Please send me your feedback--I won't bite :-)
