[UI/UX] Standardize Header Utility Links (GitHub/Wiki) to Match Site Theme

[mi-vaishnavi]

Description:

The utility links located at the top-right of the header (GITHUB and WIKI) are currently inconsistent with the overall website theme. They lack proper styling, are significantly smaller than other navigational elements, and utilize a red hover state that deviates from the site's primary color palette.

Current Behaviour:

Size: The font size is too small (approx. 10px-11px), making it difficult to read and click.

Color: The default color does not align with the professional aesthetic of the main navigation.

Hover State: On hover, the links turn a bright red, which is not used elsewhere in the primary navigation.

Alignment: They appear "pushed" to the corner without sufficient padding or vertical alignment relative to the brand logo.

Expected Behaviour:

The links should follow the font family and weight used in the main menu (About Us, Research, etc.).

The hover state should use the theme’s primary blue or a subtle underline to indicate interactivity.

Font size should be increased for better accessibility.

Steps to Reproduce:

Navigate to the SOS software component page.

Observe the top-right corner of the header.

Hover over the "GITHUB" or "WIKI" links.

Hi @SpeckiJ
I can take this up and submit a PR if this change is acceptable.
If this looks good, please assign the issue to me.

Hi @mi-vaishnavi, thanks for opening this

I took a look at the header and I can clearly see what you mean. The GitHub and Wiki links look much smaller than the rest of the navigation, sit a bit too close to the edge, and the red hover color feels out of place compared to the overall theme.

I’d love to pick this up. My plan is to bring the typography in line with the main menu, bump the font size a little for readability, improve the spacing/alignment, and change the hover effect to the primary blue. Of course, happy to adjust if you have something else in mind.

Let me know if this sounds good and I’ll go ahead and prepare a PR.

Thanks!
