Description

Hi, I think this would pobably be a good idea concerning usability. In the sidebar navigation when a new menu is created a line of white dashes is also added, which looks great and separates the menus in a very nice way. I think it would be better though to add the white dashes under each menu, not on top (maybe an exception would be if the site has only one menu). My idea is that when I add a block under the menus, it gets visually confusing where the menu ends and where the login (for example) starts. So I guess this should be really straight forward and personally think that would be a good enhancement.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. It adds the white line a bit like this:

BLOCK 1
line
BLOCK 2
line
BLOCK 3

From one perspective, it's above blocks 2 and 3, but from another it's below 1 and 2. I'm trying to visually imagine what you're thinking is confusing but I don't quite get it. Are you thinking you'd rather have the line below the block title? So that you get something like:

Navigation
----------
item
item
item

User Login
----------
[]

etc?

What I mean is this (sorry for the the previous foggy explanation):

Navigation
item 1
item 2
------
Menu 2
item 1
etc
------
Menu 3
------
Login

The line above the login is what I mean.

Isn't that how it is, though?

Well not for me. What I get now is:

Navigation
item 1
item 2
------
Menu 2
item 1
etc
------
Menu 3

Login

There's nothing to separate Menu 3 and whatever is under it.

Thaaaat's interesting.

Can you check your source and see if there is a <hr /> in the place where the line should be? As near as I can tell the code should always print exactly one fewer hr than it prints menu blocks, which is correct (i.e, if you have 3 blocks you'll have 2 lines).
