Just an hour ago, they were still there! Now, it seems, somebody took 'em far away. Luckily, a buddy of mine had a unicorn-powered time machine in the backyard, so I can deliver proof of the evil deeds:

After:

On a personal note, I liked those shadows. Good buddies. Can haz back?

We recently learned that the Russians have developed ground-breaking shadowless tag technology. As I'm sure you can imagine, the advantage this gives them could be catastrophic to our aims at world domination.

Our intrepid designer has worked day and night to close this shadow gap. We're not quite there yet, but it can only be a matter of time...

  • So I guess you knew better than to call it a performance issue - especially in front of me. :)

    We're back in NYC now, less need to scrimp on pixels... Unless there's a STRATEGIC MILITARY ADVANTAGE to doing so

    Wait, I'm confused...The buttons became more 3D, but the tags went in the opposite direction? What the what? I guess I'll trust in Jin's grander vision...for now. :P

  • I have to say the new hover effect looks really odd on the red-status-tags of Meta (white text on light grey background). Can the status tags get a different background color on hover?

    @animuson that's a bug. I've already pushed a fix to dev.

    The button kinda blend into the background, which makes it harder to see it...
