Hi, The way Nautilus colors method source panes is absolutely great: if reminds you of paying attention to long methods in a gentle way. However, right now the metric is 'number of characters in method source', while it should be more related to complexity. For example, using long names for variables or messages will be counted as negative towards this metric. Worse even, lots of comments, which is good most of the time, also counts as negative. Number of nodes in the AST would be one solution, but maybe a too expensive one. Maybe quickly scanning for tokens while skipping whitespace and comments and then counting the tokens would be doable ? Sven -- Sven Van Caekenberghe http://stfx.eu Smalltalk is the Red Pill
