The »Add« buttons don’t look right, the search bar doesn’t even have a button (which is okay). 3) I read your reference to the rotary print press as a reference to good typography too – something I miss on wp.org. Georgia for example looks beautiful on english.SE – and maybe here too? | |

| Feb 11, 2011 at 1:11 | comment | added | Jin | thx. re: 2) The drop shadow of the main content area is for the faux paper effect. The top bar(link, search box) are intentionally decorated as "meta" content that's why they look differently. 3) While I'm aware of this, but I don't see it being a huge issue. the Official WP forum uses Lucida Grande too. I've looked at a lot of the users generated content on WP.SE so far, the italic use case is rather rare. 4) "»" is actually part of the global SE htmls which I cannot change. | |

Maybe not the guillemets: They are (ab)used like this a lot in WordPress, and I don't know whether that would be a recognizable extension of it, or a further confusion of our European and Asian friends who use it in their daily language. | |
