Does anyone feel that vertically centered bullet points are very bad?

In my opinion, the purpose of bullet points is to clearly delineate the points. And it utterly fails to do that when it can appear right in the middle of a point.

I just grew bored of looking at ugly bullet lists, so I tried to fix the problem with the Stylish plugin for Chrome. I found out that on my computer, the following setting is perfect:


li {
background-position: left 5px;
}


(The default is "left center".)

However I didn't try it on my phone, so I don't know if this works well on different display sizes.

What do you think? Have any of you tried to modify the behavior of those bullet points?

Yes, I think it would look nicer if they appeared next to the top line of a list item spanning multiple lines, instead of in the middle.

Agreed.
