Yeah, not bad... better than before... how about combining both approches? With (at line 109-116 of evenlistitem.cpp): if (evtype==start) type="<font size=\"+1\" color=\"darkgreen\"><b>START</b></font><br>"; else if (evtype==stop) type="<font size=\"+1\" color=\"darkred\"><b>STOP</b></font><br>"; else if (evtype==chapter) type="<font color=\"darkgoldenrod\">CHAPTER</font><br>"; else if (evtype==bookmark) type="<font color=\"darkblue\">BOOKMARK</font><br>"; it's a little less nervous / more obstructive than before and the colorblind won't even notice it... ciao,... have to leave now...
