All code highlighting has been moved to the top of the stylesheet. Feel free to fork and customize to your liking.
You can adjust the line height for the Elements/Sources Tab, Find, and Console interfaces. It's the first set of selectors in the stylesheet. More info... Thanks to @orloxx for the suggestion.
