I wish the style name were larger, because right now with my reduced visual acuity (a temporary situation -- perhaps you've noticed my inaccurate typing lately), I can't read it at all. I also see that multiple styles are displayed by multiplying the number of blue bars. OK, this UI is just fine, after all. I wonder why displaying the names is not turned on by default?
