I take your word for it. I'll try it again to be sure, and post my results if
they are weird, or won't if it works. :)

Ok, this makes sense. I will try to find a use for it. Do a lot of people use
color-coding in TB? It seemed frivolous to me but I've always used console-based
clients as my main client.

Ahah. Ok, I'll look it up. But isn't it weird that there should be no radio
buttons for it? Or isn't it weird that quotestyle is not defined in the account
templates explicitly, replaced instead by those radio buttons?

I see. This is absolutely sensible, and quite good design behaviour. I should
have tested it further before opening my big mouth.
Thanks.
