This looks great!, The option of having lighter theme but still being coherent is great for people that uses laptops and have to turn down the brithness. Dark themes can be a bit dificult to have then. I do think though that the last scrollbars were great, they have a deeper look then the ones on your new screenshots.</blockquote> <div> //Jesper </div></div> </div>
