I have posted about the updates on Steemitstage recently and it didn't take them long to update Steemit.com with those new updates and even more.

They have revealed the new Logo and color scheme. We also have night mode on top of it!

I was surprised about the Night Mode - that made me like the whole new look of Steemit. I must say that they did a splendid job in this update. It made me like almost everything that has been updated. There's just one thing that I think needs fixing. This made me come up with an "Idea".

Notice the colored shadow on the right side of the content box:

It matches that of the "Post" button to Create a New Post:

It does look good but it looks weird, reason being: TOO ASYMMETRICAL . Once you scroll down, it just looks like a weird line on the side, it doesn't look like a shadow for the content box:

Here comes the Lightbulb:

Instead of a shadow, why not just make a border go around the content area. I have played around a bit with Photoshop and made a mock-up of how it would(or should) look like if that were the case.

Here is another set of mock-ups to show you how it looks like when you scroll down in a list of posts. It looks more symmetrical and this design makes a lot more sense rather than having a weird line on one side being lonely and all:

Do you see the difference between having just one of those bright bars and having two of them?
