      Problem

      Confluence doesn't feel modern, while some of its competitors are ahead in this regard.

      Fix

      Small visual improvements over time can slowly make Confluence contemporary. One such fix is to put a subtle gradient and shadow onto the Confluence header like so:

      This will also require the header to be made 29px high.

      Quick code solution by Chris Broadfoot:

      #poweredby {
	padding-top: 10px !important;
}

#header {
    background-image: url(http://extranet.atlassian.com/download/attachments/673088317/gradient-header.gif);
    background-position: bottom;
}

#main {
	border-top: none !important;
	padding: 10px !important;
	margin-left: -10px !important;
	margin-right: -10px !important;
	background: white url(http://www.ibm.com/i/v16/t/sprites-t1.gif) repeat-x scroll 0 -814px;
}

      Reason for severity

      The header is everywhere.

            we're not going to this for now, unassigning the fix-for version

            Needs to be part of a larger UI change, apparantly

            Reviewed this small change. I like the modern theme, I wish it was default.
