In regards to the time taken, this is a long and arduous project. That Nitro is still working on it is amazing and shows extraordinary patience. (I think...)
Also for those discouraged by the 'computer time limitation' hurdle Nitro has, I consider it a blessing-in-disguise. This would cause one to remain motivated for longer without getting burnt out, so long as Nitro doesn't get discouraged. (read: no more time estimations please! :-P)
On the green thing, has there been a conclusion on how to avoid problems with Knux's socks and such? Could toying with Startcolor/endcolor solve the problem?
