I would like to ask you how you feel about adding the possibility to fade the lines that are not in the center of the attention in the editing area. Do you find this useful ? Please look at the snapshot below to get an idea of how this would look like.
I would not prefer such a fading facility. For me the UI becomes less readable. Especially reading documents from top to bottom becomes more difficult. Another option would be: to integrate a collapse/expand facility in the *editor window*. And add buttons/functions to easily expand / collapse (several) subtrees. There are many other IDEs/source editors which allow such collapsing/expanding.
Also you may see in the screenshot an actual feature that will go in oXygen 3.1 in February: the outliner will be able to show some attibutes and/or text content.
This looks great :-) Kind regards, Manfred
