While this change is intended to visually bring the content forward, its primary goal is to make clearer the distinction between different layering elements while unifying their overall visual presentation, because currently it is quite varied: * Popups like the gadget commonly used on wikipedia and other projects * The extended cactions * Echo * Postedit * Notifications using the mw-notification-area * and others. And to start, distinguishing the content from the base layer not only makes it clearer what layer an object actually belongs to (is it part of the content, is it over the content, etc), it also provides a template that others can follow and helps unify existing formats - if the content casts a shadow, it's less weird that postedit should too. Shadows are a powerful tool when used properly, and now that browser support is finally fairly consistent, there is little reason not to put them to use, especially when dealing with a platform as inherently complicated as MediaWiki. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
