Yes, we'll see how it goes after this is implemented, and we can then adjust. It's a matter of removing or changing a few classes here and there, so it's not an expensive experiment. A lighter background color is also an option I'm considering. > Also, should we slightly indent files that are in a subfolder when the > folder is expanded? I don't think so. Since the leading directory name is not a button, it will look indented anyway. -- Branko Vukelić [email protected] [email protected] Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group
