thanks for pointing me to the docs.. this brings more light into the issue :-).
let me put the main parts into a nutshell: - most colors which are not intuitive are in the left column (red, gree, black, bold, non-bold font) - it is confusing that colors which appear on the left and also on the right have different meaning (red colored var on the left is a constructor, red colored var on the right is a String-datatype) so i think it would be apropriate to define tooltips for the left column cells in the format sebastian suggested. (Type... Url...). Maybe there could also be link to the corresponding wiki artikel inside the tooltip for further reading. another option which would simplify things a lot was already described by Sebastian in http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=5364 The categorized view there describes what atm is rendered using colors very well. Maybe just doing it that way and drop the colored rendering at all will make the view even more clear. Am Montag, 20.
