For a comparison: http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?y=ci http://www2.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?y=ci I hope you aren't too attached to this. I finally got some time to experiment with making it possible to style the various graph elements in just about any way that CSS allows. This will give skin authors a lot more flexibility without requiring Fossil devs to add support for each desired customization. I should have gone to bed a long time ago. I'll have a branch (probably called graph-css) for review/fixes/improvement up by Tuesday night at the latest. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Hi Brad, Yes, I often narrow to the branch like that but that hides the context of activity on other branches I might be interested in. When scrolling down through a busy timeline the visual clue of which line belongs to which branch would be useful to me.
