i've described a possible solution in another email. so hopefully we can 
improve this a bit in 4.11 with the QML replacement.


sidenote 1: often when we get feedback on such things, it is due to poor 
quality hardware (e.g. a screen with horrific contrast) or incorrectly 
configured hardware (e.g. gamma and color that is so far off as to ruin any 
subtlety). screenshots capture what the computer thinks it is painting to the 
screen, not necessarly what is on screen. i've witnessed this in person a 
couple of times .. the screenshots posted to this email do not look *that* 
bad, but they could be on the wrong screen. 

sidenote 2: this is a "i don't need it, and it breaks my workflow." email

i would LOVE to have a way to accurately gauge a statistically significant 
agglomeration of user experience on such things as the inherently selfish first-
person POV (which each of us has) is utterly useless as design input. 

we have no adequate solutions to either sidenote above. ah well ..
