The mockup draws this band as a filled surface, and I built it that way. The
settings window used to draw its section headings the same way -- and dropped it
in v1.11.0, with the reason written into SectionHeader: a fill reads fine against
blue themes and vanishes against violet ones, because its only distinction from
its surroundings is hue. Tracking is shape, and shape survives every palette.
Side by side with yesterday's build the difference was obvious: the settings
window sets VERHALTEN and TASTENKÜRZEL as tracked caps with a rule that fades
out, while the chat window right next to it carried a lit bar. One window was
three weeks ahead of the other.
So the plate is gone and a fading rule runs between the channel name and the
world, stopping short of it. Same shape the settings headings have had since
ced7ea0.
Worth writing down because the mockups are where this came from, and they are
from before that lesson. They are the starting point of the style track, not its
target -- the target is how far ImGui can be pushed, and the plugin has been past
these drawings since v1.11.0.
