I agree that your solution is compact and acceptable for a trained eye, but I wouldn't recommend it as a default setting. And for the record, I like the current default setting, it's easily readable and clearly distinguishes line and column numbers, so my vote goes to "status quo" on this issue. Just my 2c, Romain. -- Romain FRANCOISE | But you don't care for me and it's a miracle -- http://orebokech.com/ | I don't care now for anybody.
