i did this, and it got rid of the coloured squares, but left nothing in their place - so there is nothing at all now where the node indicators should be
ah well, i'll just wait for the official 1.1 i guess..
i've got a web designer friend who is going to redesign my site for me - i figured it would be best to wait for 1.1 final to be released before he starts, in case anything major changes between now & then, but i've been putting him off for too long now.. hopefully the changes he makes will survive the transition to the final version once it's released!
