Borders were removed from thumbs because complete lack of a border on images is not the most common instance of photo/video use. Instead, multiple box borders around images and lack of sufficient padding increases visual complexity of our reading experience. Removing excess square border on site elements is a trend you can see starting all the way back to the original Vector redesign, which significantly softened Monobook's hard edges and lack of whitespace. Simplifying our image styles for the most common use case is a change that is going to dramatically increase readability and bring the style in line with what we have on mobile devices and tablets now. I'm going to try and make sure we allocate developer resources for Erik's proposal in Comment #15, so that editors have the option to manually add a border to thumbs where needed. In the meantime, increasing the whitespace around images will help even for images like flags that lack an in-image border. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
