Wow, many thanks. :)

I'm already here for over 15 years and wasn't aware of this.

Mainly because it's only explained in About the Newest Nodes view only in context of Newest Nodes.

Since it doesn't apply to RAT and most monks regard NN only as poor man's version, they will not know it either.

But it's certainly useful if one visits a thread of multiple nested posts and the new ones are highlighted

All I needed was putting this into my Display Settings 

/* === Newest Nodes === */

td.reply-new      { background-color: #FC7 }
td.reply-new-body { background-color: #FBB }

Still have to check how this plays combined with the aforementioned :visited pseudo class.
