The best way to reduce flicker is to make sure all your horizontal lines
are at least two pixels high - at least most of the time.

Also, colors with minimal contrast work well.  For example, light grey
(12,12,12) over dark gray (3,3,3) works exceptionally well...if you're
looking for the Mac look.

The problem with using double height lines is that you are - presumably - no
further ahead then when you started (because you're still only achieving a
vertical resolution of 200).  The reason this is actually a sensible
approach is that you only have to place that restriction on long horizontal
runs (ie in excess of 10 pixels or so - varries with personal taste).  This
means that smaller text and many gadgets will not be effected.
