created a little patch of my proposal (the last one)
it works, but the code to make the highlight without margin it's a little bit 
clumsy and buggy, it would require a deeper rework to do it properly (i think 
it looks good only if there is absolutely no margin both left and right)
i think it looks a bit better of the default look without coloring too much an 
empty space

Cheers,
Marco Martin
