super-clever: show three boxes to the right of a password field whose colors depend on a hash of the text entered. That way the user has a visual checksum on their hidden text. Another interesting tweak is using grayscale to indicate when the password rules have not been met (too few chars, no numbers, etc)

"After upgrading to Lion I noticed that the Homebrew theme that I’ve been using since Snow Leopard doesn’t display colors correctly(using different colors for directories, different types of files etc.) any more when working on remote hosts via ssh (local dir colors still work though) and switching to other themes doesn’t help. After messing around with the Terminal settings I finally found the cause and a solution. It seems Lion changed the terminal type to xterm-color256 during the upgrade (don’t remember what the setting was in SL though). The solution is simple enough, just change the emulation type for terminal from xterm-color256 to xterm-color (see screenshot below)."

"In a future release of Firefox we are likely to make it possible for people to turn on color correction for tagged images and CSS. You can test this setting today by changing the pref listed on the page on color correction on the Mozilla Developer Center to “Full color management.” In that case untagged images should continue to work as we will be rendering both CSS and untagged images in the sRGB color space. Image support and tools PNG’s can be tagged in three different ways. First they can have an iCCP chunk that contains the associated ICC profile. Second they can be explicitly tagged as sRGB using a sRGB chunk. Finally, they can contain gAMA and cHRM chunks that describe the image’s gamma and chromaticies. Using any of thse methods will cause Firefox to color correct the image. You can remove all of the color correction chunks resulting in an untagged image using pngcrush: pngcrush -rem gAMA -rem cHRM -rem iCCP -rem sRGB infile.png outfile.png"

nice tweak to make active/hover/inactive tabs more obvious

The pre-linguistic way in which infants perceive colour may not necessarily be the foundation for colour perception later on, once a child learns language.
