@Shalk, i got an email where you asked how i found <one of my examples>. i do not see your email query here and cannot grok which page you refer to since you clipped page title from your big sample image above. i will guess that whatever i was reporting may already have been fixed. the site looked progressively prettier in the days following dark rollout. i happened to be working on javascript so it was fun to watch. -d
