New look of analysis window

Dear Lichess,

I just noticed that analysis window was changed. Personally I do not like current color scheme, the move list is "too" white which is slightly irritating, I preferred when it was calmly grey. And especially I missed a name of the opening after certain amount of moves. I liked to see the point where theory ended and deviations beginned.

Just an opinion...
Yes, I also prefer a transparent background like on play mode. And I also don't understand, sometimes the Openning name shows, others don't, probably still's beta.
But I liked that size font for variations is bigger than before.
I think it's much better now, especially if you have variations with multiple sub-variations. Prior to the changes it was nearly impossible to get an overlook about where new sub-variations start - that's very easy now!

It's also great to see the text-annotations of (sub-) variations immediately on the right side in the move list.

Then the current variation is displayed in blue now, very useful!

Perhaps this could be also a good idea: In the variation tree, when there are many different continuations from a certain move, put the first move of any of these continuations also in a slightly different colour. This would give an even better overlook I think.

Many thanks for the great changes anyway! :-)
#4, do you see the names of variations? I don't see anything anymore - just a list of moves with inaccuracies and mistakes.
On my screen the name of variation appears above the list changing from "king's pawn" to "italian" to etc., but this was implemented long ago.
@Alex_1987 Yes, the opening name appears at the top and changes depending on the selected variation. If I remember correctly in the past the opening name always relied on the main line and didn't change when you selected variations?! In this case I think this is better now.
I think it just changed again. I really like it now. It's both good-looking and useful. Good job, thibault :).
