Darker theme for Shout. Has a bit more eye-friendly color scheme and hides some IMO unnecessary features such as "Leave" and "Submit" buttons.

Imitate hand-drawn (imperfect) circles using cubic Bézier segments

Imitate hand-drawn (imperfect) circles using cubic Bézier segments, based on a Bézier approximation to a perfect circle. TLDR: a good approximation to a quarter circle of unit radius is a cubic Bézier curve with control points P0 = (0,1), P1 = (c,1), P2 = (1,c), P3 = (1,0) where c = 0.551915024494. By varying the points in a sensible way, we can do a good impression of hand-drawn circles.

Solution if you are using dropbox and git same time and if you get this error "fatal: Reference has invalid format: refs/heads/master conflicted copy"
find . -type f -name "* conflicted copy*" -exec rm -f {} \;
awk '!/conflicted/' .git/packed-refs > temp && mv temp .git/packed-refs
