Subject: [PATCH] Homepage icons: white with lift/shadow hover effect
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Removed colored icons per user preference. Now using clean white
icons with subtle drop shadow that lifts and deepens on hover for
a "pop" visual cue without glow.
