I feel there is still one thing missing in Phatch. I based myself on
this tutorial:

and I like the shades they give to the paper:

This we need as well in Phatch.

I might have a better idea:

Thanks. Yes, Phatch is shaping up nicely. It is really important we
provide the end user with top quality action lists, as that will be
the best tutorials.
