Isn’t this a problem with your chosen theme? I don’t see that in the default black or white themes. ---

It’s in the material design theme by the looks. AFAIK one of the design guidelines for material was brightly colored high contrast top bars? ---

Right, it’s the material design theme installed here on meta. ---

The problem is the extra drop shadows on the duration selector and the line below subcategories header, which ruin the “cards” effect. ---

@rewphus can you have a look at this? ---

Let me know if you need help, it’s select-kit related. ---

Should be fixed now. It’s a very specific fix just ignoring the period-chooser-header, because the shadow seemed to work fine in other button dropdowns, so if you notice it anywhere else, let me know. ---
