The UI could be made cleaer by allowing the use of different text colours for 
different label decorations.

For example, have one colour for the CVS label indicating that a given 
project is checked out against a CVS version, and another colour for when it's 
checked out against a branch.  

Currently, unless the versions and branches are properly named, it's not always
apparent what kind of tag you're checked out against.

This wouldn't be hard to do. If you are keen this would be an easy task for
someone to provide a patch. Basically, in Eclipse 3.0 there is a new interface
for label decorators so that they support fonts (IFontProvider) and colors
(IColorProvider).
