Hello, I like how it looks. I also liked the colourful, but with tuned colours (I'm a bit used to 'meld' and its colours, for hard diffs). I definitely prefer this retro sbs over the colourful. I don't know if the option can be given simply as CSS styles, though. Emitting some (html tags allowing for colourful sbs is possible? Apart, one feature I'd like a lot is to have sbs diffs with the *option not to skip lines*. That's usally a nice option that sbs diffs can give over unified diffs: full context.
