Thanks for your reaction, but I'd really like to hear some comments 
about my proposal, i.e. making the background grey and/or dropping the 
window borders. Have you got any ideas about them, Jeff? (No-one is 
responding, and I don't know if it's because people think it's a bad 
idea, because they don't care, or because they're just too busy...).

Thanks in advance,

Eric
