Hi. The reason it is on RC too is because the dashboard is intended for ALL special pages... We are definitely taking a close look at all your feedback and I think we have come up with a more minimalist design for next week because that kind of impact on functionality was honestly not intended. Sometimes it does take us a few tries to get things right. :)
