background in <readmore> tags

[John M. Dlugosz]

I added a <readmore> tag to a 7K meditation after the first (intro) paragraph, to make it more friendly in the Meditations page (and perhaps the front page, people start FPing meditations more).

I was surprised to find the background turn grey. Why should the background be shaded just because I wanted it abstracted in the pages that display multiple nodes?

Furthermore, the background cut right to the edge of the text, without any padding, so the first char was actually hard to read sometimes. It's poor layout.

I added

div.readmore { background-color: inherit }

to my user settings under "display" here in Monks, and canceled the effect. I wonder if the powers that be might consider getting rid of that, or making it more subtle and applying the effect better.
