* show on hover only - like the Wikipedia MonoBook and Vector skins, I prefer not to clutter the content area with lots of horizontal lines that interfere with the typeface descenders, make reading the text more difficult, and tire the eyes. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]]

*: The bottom-border underscores move them below the descenders (at many resolutions), so this is an improvement in readability.  The excess of horizontal lines in the content text remains an issue, in my opinion. I've found that the excess ink and horizontal lining of solid underlines can be reduced by using a dotted, gray bottom-border underline {text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px dotted;border-color: gray}. (But see also just below.) --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]]

::[http://www.mail-archive.com/marketing@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg00917.html From] Josh Williams, web designer working on the redesign: I'm with you on having the underscores only appear on hover for the main content, but there's a really big usability problem there for color blind people or users with a grayscale monitor. If you go to http://sugarlabs.org on the XO and set the screen to gray scale it's extremely difficult to find links because there's no visual cue other than color.
