Description

In tablet mode (two pane), you can identify top level comments via the indentation -- but this is not easy on the eyes, and takes some effort. Can the top level comments be highlighted with just a lighter/darker shade of color for easy identification?

Another way of foing this would be to add a vertical color bar like in BaconReader -- however I think the above method would be better.

Research direction

Start by finding the tablet two-pane comment view and the code that renders indentation for top-level comments. Compare the available visual treatments in that view; the work is done when top-level comments are easy to distinguish by color without making the tablet layout harder to read.
