I've had quite a few times now where I got partway through a page of comments, then either decided to reply to something or quickly check a link someone posted, then came back only to find the text all of the comments I hadn't gotten to yet have been marked "read" and thus dimmed to gray. When there's only a dozen comments that's no big deal, but when it's a few dozen it becomes a bit annoying.
The easiest solution I can come up with for this (since I know many people like the mass-dimming approach) would be to offer two built-in stylesheets with a built-in on-page switch so users can switch between them on the fly. The two options might be "dim title & text for 'read' comments" and "new/unread comment title gradient is [red/blue, green/black, whatever]."

I think what we've got slated is to not actually mark any comments "read" until you explicitly hit the button to do so and only dim the title bars of the ones you've read so the text stays as visible as ever. That work?
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
