This is OT, but follows the comment here.

If the discussion on labels relates to being able to follow a line of text across a Finder page, or similar, I recommend that you customise PinPoint with "Full Screen Crosshairs".

It allows you to follow both horizontal and vertical sections. Think spreadsheet.

PinPoint from <macchampion.com>. It is a System Preference.

For anyone who gives presentations on a screen, PinPoint is an essential add-on.

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).
