Now that we agreed on the main navigation look 'n' feel (hooray!), I'd like to discuss a thing that didn't convince me about the white dropdowns: first-level and second-level items have the same exact styling.

As you can see in the image, "Blueprints" looks the same as, say, "Sections". It means it's got a hand cursor and has the same font-size, background- and foreground-color of its children.

Since first-level items are not clickable bot only "hoverable", I'd suggest to visually distinguish the two types of items not to deceive users into thinking they have the same purposes.

While it's clear that we want the background to be white, perhaps we should just focus on the `cursor`, `font` and `colour` attributes. For starters, it might be a good idea to restore the arrow cursor once the first-level item is hovered.
