And if I may make a request, I'd like to see a bit narrower borders. It should still serve the purpose of indicating the borders where the text ends. With the way it is now, the background (both sides combined) is taking up close to 20% of the total width. I remember one of the main reasons against having the side navigation bar was that it would waste a lot of screen estate especially when the page is long. Right now, we are using space that would have been enough to accommodate the navigation bar. Akemi
