Oh, I agree totally, Amir. I just forgot how to do it and hoped
someone with CVS access who knew how to Obsolete a style would do it...

Well, see my response to his post.

Well, yes. The point of having Slide one color and of having Note and
Overlay a different color is to offset them. Note and Overlay depend
on some Slide, someplace, while the Slide is the important object.
Hence why Slide is an easy-to-see blue with a "_________________"
line: a clear visual break. Note and Overlay, OTOH, are magenta, a
bit easier to pass over, and use a shorter, dotted-like line, denoting
that this isn't a complete break from the current slide.
