i've reduced the whitespace a bit, i want to keep a certain amount of whitespace though because the fade effect at the top breaks if the top is too short
btw if you want to get rid of the stuff at the top just click the arrow (
) under the ip.
about the black gradients: this theme used to have gradients on those black bits but i removed them as they didn't really fit with the "blocky" style in the top site menu. especially as they're both black bars, it'd be weird to have one solid and one gradient.
