@canerakdas @bmuenzenmeyer @ovflowd @mikeesto thoughts about this proposal?

[bmuenzenmeyer]

I don't personally like it. I prefer the consistency of the other approach.
This one tries to do the right thing, I understand, but the underlines look odd to me with a rounded edge, and on the top right there is a non-link icon "button" to GH, that looks the same unfocused as the footer, but now behaves "like the buttons" next to it in the header but "like a link" in the footer (turning green using fill). GH and X both turn green, which is odd.

These are true statements to me:

1. I'm not a designer.
2. we shouldn't design by committee.
3. we had a designer design the original work
4. we are inconsistent in this approach

edit: Other opinions welcome.

• Fixed the rounded edges now its not rounded anymore (its just a simple straight underline now)
• Top right GH acts and feels like a link now
• Footer GH and X don't change color to green anymore

I'm 👎 on this
This causes layout shift on hover. There are ways to fix this, like using a transparent border, but I don't think we should pursue this.
#6775 is better

I'm closing this, in favor of #6775 which is merging now. If someone feels strongly about the UX - they can open an issue to discuss, but for now the navigation and footer are consistent and keyboard accessible
