Wow, what happened in
https://git.enlightenment.org/website/www.git/commit/?id=9f75e7370f168ada24267d6c065a9cbba92ee42f?
We're all monochrome now :(
a {
- color: #44aaff;
+ color: #eeeeee;
}
Pretty sure the comment about link colours was that clicked vs unclicked
should be more differerent - no need to lose the nice blues completely.
Looking at the site now it's lost most of it's character.
Also, since we have source control, why are we leaving old code commented
out?
- text-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
+ text-shadow: none;
+// text-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
