Hi Ariel,

Bettina, Base's UX expert, is on vacation 'til next year. Nonetheless, I
think we will be able to discuss and implement new colors before 3.1
release.
If you have any suggestions, please tell them. Perhaps just set them in
the options, and upload a screenshot of the resulting SQL editor (with a
statement stressing all available item colors) to the Wiki. Might be a
good way to discuss / compare different alternatives.

Mind to submit an issue, best with small a sample DB?

The former, AFAIK. Max? The latter (which some people using proper
editors might be used to :) is worth an RFE, I'd say.

Found the same behavior in m36 and m37. As always, you might submit an
issue. The admittedly sub-optimal UX of this behavior would justify 3.x,
IMO.

Ciao
