Could do, but why?

In the past if you wanted the ACE editor to display differently from default you used **userchrome.css** to tweak it. Just wondering why that should be any different with the CodeMirror editor?

I have only had a quick look at this but it seems that just these few lines of css in **userchrome.css** will set CodeMirror to the plainest, non-enhanced, text-editor-only style display settings.

```css
div.CodeMirror-lines * {
	font-size: 13px !important;
	color: black !important;
	font-weight: normal !important;
	text-decoration: none !important;
}

```

Actually **userchrome.css** will let you change pretty much everything in CodeMirror from the default.
