Hello,
I'd like to suggest that we should use the transisting effect which can be applied to links for an example.
You'd need to do the following.
ACP -> Themes & Templates -> Your Theme -> Global.css
Then you'd need to find
a:link which is easy to find as it's on the top.
You then add the following code.
PHP:
-webkit-transition: color 150ms ease-in;
-moz-transition: color 150ms ease-in;
-o-transition: color 150ms ease-in;
You could also change the text-decoration to none in the
a:hover, a:active class.
That's my small suggestion, and it would really hurt since it adds an extra effect. It can be also implemented in the new custom theme if it won't be already.
