I have similar thoughts.
Maybe I should code an option to turn it off and don't show at all - here. 
Everybody would have a choice then.

This is the solution I am familiar with from SuperMemo. :)
Different background colors - different topics.
Unfortunately - the design here is based on a GUI Toolkit that doesn't allow 
me to implement any extra formatting, changing colors of items easily, nor 
add images directly to items.
KMemAid - another interface, has such options though.
KMemAid will be probably developed in this direction - supports for Unicode, 
multimedia, etc. while main memaid version will be simpler, less resource 
hungry, more cross-platform and more free (license for QT Toolkit doesn't 
allow commercial use without paying to Trolltech a lot of money).
