Something had been bothering me about the header on the new design, but I really couldn't put my finger on it until this morning.

It's too spartan. It's also lost some of that "polish" that the header had in 3.1.x

For example, here's the new IPB header.



Notice the square corners when forum is highlighted?

Now, for a 3.1.4 expample.



To me, it just looks more polished. And no, I didn't monkey with the default skin.

In an effort to clean things up, I think it may have gone a little too far. Clean is nice. Sterile isn't so nice.

I don't know about spartan, but I would be happier if the first tab lined up flush with the edge of the white background instead of being about half an inch to the right.

The tab intentionally lines up with the logo and the page content :)

Okay, cool. :)

I like the new 3.2 header better, but I agree that the square corners are a bit odd. Everything else has rounded corners (the search box, the headers of the forum sections, the buttons, the dropdown box from the username, etc.),and I'd prefer if the tabs were slightly rounded as well.

Thank god it was intentional :tongue: I saw somewhere else that someone posted about it and thought it was a bug.. I love it, very nice to hear it wasn't a bug(and thus won't be changed).
