White layers, no.

It seemed to draw too much attention to the swatch, and indicate "toggle me!" rather than "prelight". IMHO, if we do anything to indicate prelighting, it should be (at least) as subtle as my color change. And I am not entirely sold that we should be doing anything. -- Andrew Poelstra Email: asp11 at sfu.ca OR apoelstra at wpsoftware.net "Do whatever you want. Do what you think is important.
