I've seen themes that grey out comments and every time I see one I think "shouldn't a theme that greys out everything except comments be more useful?" So, yes, definitely sounds worth a try to me. Be fun to figure out ho

If you do that again, please consider streaming it and then letting the developers have a copy of the stream to post somewhere. I'm not sure anything else will do the "this was fun to play with with friends" part justice.
