Summary

Right now, unordered lists (uls) have the circle list style:

I propose changing this to the disc list style, which is in my experience more common:

Motivation

  1. The circle list type looks a bit out-of-place on the Rust website since a lot of the Rust website has a "filled-in" design, e.g., buttons:
    image
  2. The circles are also so thin that they look pixelated
  3. Discs would stand out more on the page so you can clearer see that it's a list
  4. Other parts of Rust, e.g. mdBooks, use the disc list type:

  5. In my experience, the disc list type is more common on websites than the circle list type, so it's a bit jarring for someone used to the other style

Drawbacks

It might be bikeshedding :)

Rationale and alternatives

  • Why is this design the best in the space of possible designs?
  • What other designs have been considered and what is the rationale for not
    choosing them?
  • What is the impact of not doing this?
