Right, I've had a moment to made some changes. I've tweaked the
javascript and went with the != comparison and changes. Also I
think I *was* mistaken with not introducing bold for a set of
keywords. Obviously I sneaked that in at some point to see how it
would look but didn't recall doing so.
So the latest changes are on my version (like your link above) again.
Have I missed anyone's existing recommendations out? How's it look in
Konqueror? I think it does look less brash than before; I think Tom
was right that it was too in-your-face. Does it need toning down
more? Other suggestions?
