The dangers of designing for one color scheme

Wow, there are arrows next to the cut tags to expand them? I didn't even notice this till I read the news post (which thankfully mentioned that they'd blend in far too well with certain color schemes), because the arrows are #3D3D3D and my background is #333333. 3% difference in contrast, yay!

If you're reading this on my journal page, here's a demo just to show what I mean:

See? That arrow is practically invisible!

Edited to add: And they're already working on it - they're going to be adding a white border to the graphic to make it easier to see in situations like this.

Edited further to add: Well, that was quick. There's already a border around the arrows now.

Odd, they should've just made the arrow the same colour as the text.
Apart from that, I love the expand option.

Heheh, I don't think they thought that one through completely.

It shows up on my journal well but I have a lighter color scheme.

It's a nifty feature though.

I didn't notice the arrows until you pointed that out. :) Glad they're working on adding a border.
