I would not prefer such a fading facility. For me the UI becomes less 
readable. Especially reading documents from top to bottom becomes 
more difficult.

Another option would be: to integrate a collapse/expand facility in 
the *editor window*. And add buttons/functions to easily expand / 
collapse (several) subtrees. There are many other IDEs/source editors 
which allow such collapsing/expanding.

This looks great :-)

Kind regards, Manfred
