that minimize button is very next level

Thanks! I copied the minimize button design from reddit's /r/starterpacks. Then I got the alternating-color CSS from /s/deutsch and /s/ice_poseidon2. All combined, I think it's about as good of a design as exists for the reddit interface, and now it's site-wide!

i seriously think saidit is pretty enough now ( or am i the only one with low standards ?).

Yeah I think I'm going to stop with the visual updates now, I think we're good for a while. I might tweak the vote buttons a little bit, but that's all that's left that I would want to update

one thing about the 'fun' buttons - i think that having a happy, laughing smiley face helps a lot (on a semi- or subconscious level) with keeping the conversations civil. its dificult to go into hardcore flamewar mode with it on the pages.

I agree, and I think the same is true of having a calming and organized interface to interact with. I've been thinking about that as I've been designing this CSS

I truly appreciate all the thought and care that goes into this. Really remarkable.

Thanks Formosa, I'm glad it's appreciated. :)

Agreed.

I don't think of it as low standards. I am biased towards simple design elegance, rather than flashy appearance and dense interface functionality.

I'm not complaining about this current change. It's aight.
