At the moment it doesn't seme to work at all but i might keep an eye out for it and something similar. Sounds like a good idea really. No pressure though i understand your just one guy

Well, it doesn't work at all! So, I guess, I can't rate it better at this moment.

Great idea, note that this seems to assign the wrong tone colors for a ton of words - for example, 为什么 is colored orange orange red whereas it should be wei4shen2me5 (blue orange grey). It's also slow as molasses, to the point of being unusable on large pages. Hope there's not some O(n) algorithm running over the entire dictionary for every character or something. I wonder if maybe a different way could be used to indicate the tone color rather than coloring the whole thing - maybe put a colored underline under the word or so. Right now it makes reading large texts quite painful for the eyes.
