my choice was not entirely derived from my personal perference, but based on (what i think) the general
readability between the two choices. i mean, on my own system, i use *very* small font system wide, because i like
it that way. as to desiredata, the screenshots so far are only for demo purposes, showing whatever features
that are there. i mean, if i am using desiredata everyday for myself, i sure will prefer bold, rather
normal.
and yes, ultimately, it would be perfect if all elements can be cumstomized. ie. lighter object boxes, or
no object boxes at all;) but we are not quite there yet..
