#1 Qube Dec 10, 2008 2:04:52	since I have no idea where else to post this, I've got a feature request for the boards. (1) color coded deck-blocks Since 4th edition, powers and such are written in a block, with the title in a color bar; and many people on this forum use the deck-tags to emulate this

Not that it's a bad idea; I like the idea, actually. I'm just saying it'd take more work than you seem to think it might.
