The top of the menu, gone over properly

Three type sizes with intent, instead of four that happened. The header
carried 13 bold, 12, 15 and 14 — and the largest thing on it was the pair of
arrows, which are markers rather than data. The figures are now the biggest,
because they are what gets read; the verdict follows as the headline in its own
colour; the arrows and the qualifier share a quiet third size.

The chart has margins. They were lopsided in a way that is obvious once
measured: the top label sat two points off the chart's frame, and the bottom
pair sat at y = 0 — flush against the view's own edge, and so against the
first row of the table below. Labels now clear the frame by the same amount at
both ends, with the same air beyond them.

The ↓ down ↑ up key is gone. It was painted in the darker inks that text
uses, not the bright fills it was labelling — a key in the wrong colours is
worse than none. And it explained what the header directly above already pairs:
the blue figure against the orange one. Direction is in the chart itself, which
puts download above the midline and upload below.

The verdict's tooltip left and came back. It was removed on the theory that it
was the pale box appearing over the chart's hover reading; measuring a
screenshot showed that box to be a bright window behind a translucent menu — a
forty-point gradient, which no flat fill in this app can produce.
