That should be quite doable. How about I show the commits that are in the highlight view in bold? That won't conflict with the existing yellow background for commits that match the find criteria.

OK, I didn't know about --unpacked. :) I plan to add stuff to the view definition window to allow you to select commits to include/exclude by reachability from given commits (by head/tag/ID) and when I do I can add a way to say --unpacked too.
