Ethereal is nice in monochrome, but some color might help make the 
visualization of the packet stream easier.  I was thinking of colors in the 
top window corresponding primarily to Network layer, but not always as there 
is not always a network layer.  Maybe this is a lot of work and maybe not, I'm 
still larning GTK and I don't know how to use styles, yet...

My idea was to have the following colors:
IP	red
ARP	green
IPX	blue
Misc without Network layer (e.g. Cisco Discovery) white
maybe others
everything else	light gray

What thinkest you?
