Specificity & list-links about consumerfinance.gov

[Scotchester]

Let's revisit this after I get around to implementing the linear gradient background image technique for creating the underlines.

Notes from usability feedback and how we agreed to handle link-list styles.

• links should be blue to look like link style
• onHover, underline link
• links should be bumped down. it is not proportional to the rest of the page

We have a list links pattern but it's slightly different. Links in that pattern are blue and have the dotted underline by default. On hover the underline is solid. On smaller screens the list converts into block links with borders between each link. Should we stick with that?

@Scotchester hows that underline thing going, still in process?

@KimberlyMunoz, I think this is an example of what I was referring to above:

The text of the visited 'director' link on '/the-bureau' page is @teal, but the borders are still @pacific.

Thanks Virginia!

@Scotchester -- Is this something you're working on or is this up-for-grabs?

Here's the line issue that Scott's working on.

cfpb/design-manual#244

I did a little digging on this and it looks like it's by design. If the border-color changes, it'll only change the border above the visited link. I'm going to close since we'd have to go back to design to fix and I don't think it'll get tackled any time soon.
