Nice.

But color highlighting should always be configurable (otherwise 
it's half done), because there are a lot of people who like 
colors, but can't distinguish between certain color combinations, 
because of a color disability. Or they might have poor displays 
or viewing conditions etc.

I guess this should be simple to add, just output the colors into 
an .ini file and read them back if the file exists.
