 ### Changed

 - **Golden UI** also turns the stock bright yellow text (titles, names, labels: everything in the normal gold font) into WoW Forever's softer, browner gold (`goldmode.text`, default .84, .72, .48).
+- **Golden UI** darkens the window title bars to WoW Forever's red-brown (`goldmode.bar`, default .8, .63, .62): world map, character, spellbook, quest log, merchant, friends, mail and RollFor's classic loot window. Where the title sits in the same layer as the art, the title is drawn again on top of the bar; the quest log's white title now uses the same gold as the others, and the lighter patch in the world map's stone art is evened out.
+- **Darkened UI and Golden UI** give the mail inbox the same stationery page as the send page. Its parchment art turned strongly red under Golden UI.
 - **Darkened UI and Golden UI** tint the round border of addon minimap buttons (the stock tracking border, as on RollFor's button), also when the addon makes its button after login.
 - **Darkened UI and Golden UI** now keep these addons' borders in the palette too, even when they set their colors again later or open a window after login: ShaguDPS, Bagshui, Outfitter, SoulstoneTracker, TrinketMenu, OctoBus, RollFor and VCB. Outfitter's own window art and the lower half of Artisan's profession window (its own textures, which stayed silver) are tinted too, VCB's buff and weapon-buff buttons get a border like the Blizzard buff buttons, the loot window, and RollFor's classic loot window (its own art plus the item rows), are recolored each time they open, and Loot Quality draws common (white) items with the palette's border color. Only light grey, white and silver borders change; colored ones (item quality, hover highlights, class or theme colors) and dark ones stay as the addon draws them. No change is needed in those addons.
 - **Darkened UI:** works the same, but now shares its recolor code with Golden UI. Big Health's replacement unit frame art follows whichever of the two is on.
