That's the idea, only I'm not sure I'm quite parsing your "(and eg for 
the set preview...)" bit.  You do mean "Active Text against Active 
Background" for the "a", correct, with inactive/negative/neutral/positive 
for i/!/=/+ (I /think/ that's right, still not absolutely sure), 
correct?  If so, it sounds pretty close to what I had envisioned, indeed.

On one thread we had someone from the commercial software community 
suggesting the gatekeepers don't let UI or behavior changes in without 
matching documentation.  Of course that's not going to work so well in a 
largely volunteer community, where to a large extent, he who codes, makes 
the rules.  So it was explained, but I'm not sure we convinced him.

I could go very off topic here discussing in great detail a long gone not 
particularly kde related example of someone trying to play by commercial 
rules without paying corresponding commercial rates to actually BE the 
boss he wanted to be... and how badly it ended, but I won't go there.
