Version:           3.5.9 (using KDE 3.5.9)

Currently, it is difficult for some people to distinguish the hierarchy level in trees in KDE. Examples of places to find the trees include Konqueror in tree view, Basket, and Digikam. Here are some suggestions for making them easier to distinguish:

1) Beeslines in hierarchy trees should have an option to colour code them, based upon hierarchy depth. I would suggest repeating the primary colours: blue for the top level, then red, then green, then blue again, etc. 

2) The beeslines should be optional in all Styles. Currently, there are styles with no beeslines.

3) The indentation depth should be configurable. The current 1-character indentation is not enough.

4) A half-lineheight space at the end of each block would help distinguish the block items from the higher-level items below it.
