Description

The new dropdown menus in the WikiVoyage ToC are hard to read because of the opacity.

(also, the transition: all 0.5s ease 0s; makes it feel laggy when I scroll over multiple items. - this is Firefox specific though)

Confirmed in: Firefox and Chromium (Ubuntu)

Which browser? Platform? (Should I assume all?)

Is someone working on this bug?
I am interested in fixing this bug.

@Adishaporwal I'm not sure this bug is actionable in current form. It would be useful to have some input from a designer before going ahead and working on it.

Ok @Jdlrobson and please let me know if any help that I can provide.

@Jdlrobson, can we get design feedback, as this is an ideal first-task for a beginner GCI contributor, in terms of difficulty?

Which browser? Platform? (Should I assume all?)

Sorry, details now added to description. (It looks identical in Firefox and Chromium, on Ubuntu. The subjective laggy feeling is only a problem in Firefox, so you can probably ignore/redact that part)

transition: all can be very expensive rendering-wise, it's always a good idea to limit transition to only affected/wanted properties.

Got just the one reply on the travellers pub pointing to a proposed redesign: https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage_talk:Banner_Expedition#Alt_pagebanner_layout.3F

I think it's safe to say this is not a high priority right now. Moving to tracking until that changes.
