As i said there is SynUniSyn, but I have no idea, how close or far from 
working it is.

Well it is a beta, that is why it is ifdefed.

And yes there is much missing.
If 2 or more item are close together,only one (with the highest 
priority) will be painted; a valid way, but not always desirable.

- Making them thinner, or one pixel line, would defer but not solve the 
issue. However since one day they should be click-able, they need some 
height
- Putting them side by side, is another idea
- mixing colors...
- or of course, as long as space exists, push them up/down, so they both 
are visible (even so slightly off position)

and  much much more...

Well I did not get the idea from the picture at all...

splitting is on the list anyway, but all in god time...
