Answers HQ Carbonic Edition 2 Extension

This Extension is NOT the work of Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) and it's creator is not an employee of EA as well.

Main features:
-Adds darker color-scheme
-Minified code on build to make extension have smaller memory footprint
-Removes ALOT of empty, unused space and a few pieces of redundant information
-Changes the font in certain places
-Fixes and rearranges all the links in the menu
-Made heroes and CM's stand out
-Many things made smaller
-Removes graphics and articles from top section
-Adds icon with links to often used areas and \"hidden\" links
-Makes the site more like Carbonic likes it

Warning: This addon does not work well if you have the page open in small windows / small resolutions - it's for power users, if you don't give it space it might become distorted.
