The container doesn\u2019t span the full width of the screen with padding at the left and right, while the first and last cards of each section feature more pronounced corners. Each container is lighter than the page background, which also now uses a much lighter Dynamic Color shade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Previous<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Compared to the previous design of placing text with line dividers, the gaps between each section improve glanceability quite a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This style also applies as you open menus, though there are no changes to on\/off toggles.
