Well Kino, I don't know that I understand you, but I certainly agree  
that the label coloring is way too busy bright and distracting!  Why  
is it Apple does so good, but stops just short of the mark?

I frequently overlook the file I want if it is colored-- I think  
because my eye ignores it to shield itself! :-) I believe we can  
change colors, but that is only a small part of the problem.  The  
fact that all the lines are colored anything at all distracts sorely  
from what is selected and the path (in view style #3).  I would like  
to be able to have the color show up in a limited area-- such as  
around the icon and maybe the disclosure triangle at the end.  Leave  
the file names unsullied.  Is Apple listening?  It seems not.  But  
they would surely listen to Kino, if they knew what was good for them  
(and us users).
