The actual drop-shadow did make a slight difference but I switched it to your method (minus the webkit stroke since I try to avoid vendor prefixes) so have a look now.

Yeah, it was kinda hard to tell before - but now it looks perfect and the difference is huge. It's really easy to see the contrast between the stroke and the snowcaps now. Once again, this theme looks awesome as heck now. :V

I wasn't being sarcastic.

Oh, I was referring to this:

the forum was definitely the priority in terms of bringing Christmas to the network.

Usually when asking about the forum, it usually seems as if it's the lowest priority in terms of updates and fixes. @___@
The main site lately seems to be the main focus of the staff (well, as it should be - that's the most outward-facing part of the site, figuratively speaking).

However, it's been pretty well-tended to lately, with Vipershark's Darkest Resource and most recently this theme, so it sounds like the forum's gonna finally gonna get all that lovin'.
