 Hello,
 I've been thinking about making the about:tor page more modern. The main
 idea was to make small but efficient improvements. Thus, only the css
 style-sheet has changes. Here are the suggestions :

 - #middle div.container :
 Add an inner shadow (box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);) and
 delete the border. This makes the implantation of the divs smoother
 without emphasizing them. To give the impression of a band, space between
 the two divs needed to be reduced. I suggest to pull the inner borders to
 the center (changing width to 300px, padding from 10px 10px to 10px 20px
 and moving div.three to left: 480px). Also, align the bottom of the divs
 (min-height: 13.5em) for the band illusion.

 - Search bar (#sxw) :
 Same idea as the middle divs of using shadow to delete the border in order
 to make the page smoother. But in this case, I think the search bar should
 be emphasized because it's one of the most important piece of the page. So
 I thought about deleting border-top/left/right/bottom to erase the border
 line, add a padding of 3px (and wider the .searchbox form to 402px to make
 it fits) and put a white background to the #sxw.

 A screenshot of what it would looks like is attached to this ticket.

 What do you think about it ?
 I look forward to hearing from your reactions.
