Nemo, when I say we, I mean the people responsible for the look and implementation of mediawiki.ui I've also been informed by the developers that drop shadows like the one proposed have a serious performance impact, especially on older browsers. The proposed style shown in the typography refresh is much simpler from a code perspective as well.

Nemo, we don't plan on using soft drop shadows (or gradients) anywhere in the UI going forward so the design your referring to doesn't really make a lot of sense with the direction of mediawiki.ui

I don't know who is "we" but Edokter's style is certainly a valid enhancement request that should be addressed in bugzilla.
