1Cademy Sub-systems UI Design

- Change "x" icon to a different color, maybe have the icon as white or a lighter gray.
- Make the "x" icon larger.
- Maybe have a box around the "x" icon before hovering it, so users can view it.

Change "x" icon color 

- Allow users to have a breather room by enabling "enter" for texts that are not just bullet points.
- As seen from this node, there is a space between the main content (the bullet points) and the text that starts with "Left image...," which shows that normal text isn't able to have large space from each other while bullet points can.
- Helps the user with reading the content better.

Left image: When typing the content, I entered to give space from the main content and the caption for the image.


Right image: However, when I propose the node, the space I made with the "enter" key disappears.

Enable "enter" key when adding node content.
