## Mini design announcement

To be more in line with core Discourse-style, all border-radius from chat are being removed.

They have been replaced by the existing `--d-border-radius` variable (used for most things), and supplemented occasionally with the new `--d-border-radius-large` variable (used mainly for chat input and the thread indicator message).

Simply setting these 2 variables to `4px` and `8px` respectively, will return chat to its former roundness.

**Disclaimer**  
These variables are _not_ limited to chat.  
For the scenario to only have rounded borders in the chat-feature, and nowhere else, custom CSS would be needed.
