Better contrast for link colours
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

  • Text shadow on interface links makes them appear darker, which almost seem like better colours to begin with (blue) but hover/visited styles likely too dark for contrasting effectively with content
  • Blue links in content feel too... bright?
  • Red links too dark; current colour should probably be hover/visited colour instead for better contrast
  • Need to separate hover/visited styles (either different colour or bring back something like underline on hover to make it totally unambiguous)

Maybe all of these just need more shadows in general because this skin is crazy-shadow-central anyway.
