1. Any improvement in the supplied AppleScript styling would help most users.
2. Apple should avoid making color the only difference between any
category pair, just as it should avoid making minor font variations one of
the differences. Aside: where did all these fonts come from on my
machine? I'm happy with just a few. Oh well...I could always toss out the
90% I never use.
3. When I'm working on my machine, I'll use the colors and other styles I
want to use (sent separately to Chris, but as a sample, not a
recommendation). I suppose that if I use Script Debugger's export to HTML
for a postable script, I should either change my settings or run a script
over it to "improve" the color/styling for others. And without you post,
it would not have occurred to me. Thanks!
