Did you integrate you changes into the subdued style now?
Please leave the subdued style.
Maybe we should allow for several styles?
Personally, I don't like the color choice yo are proposing, too much green,
too hard to figure out at a glance the proportions of the following concepts:
"direct access" (instvars, classes, formerly black) vs
"messages" (formerly blueish),
"self/supers" (formerly reddish)
The proportions of the three rather distinct colors gave me a subconscious hint,
whether the method was idiomatic or not…
Also, please be very careful with underlining. The once only bolded message name
is now bold AND green AND underlined. Thats a tad too much attention. Moreover,
UML uses underlining for 'static methods' aka class methods. this could be confusing.
Don't get me wrong, I _like_ a variety of syntax highlighting styles, we
should support that better. I, however, don't think it is a good idea to
override a relatively accustomed style just because "it's time for a change".
:)
