I looked briefly at the changes to the web UI (which are mainly in <http://git.repo.i2p.to/w/grid-updates.git/blob/master:/share/welcome.xhtml.patched19>), and they look like something we want to have in upstream Tahoe. Actually, they almost exactly implement <https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1369>. Can you attach your patches to tahoe.css and welcome.xhtml (for 1.9.x) to that ticket? Am I correct in thinking those are the only patches needed? -- David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥
