The following improvements have been made to the Work Plans:
- Updated Arrow located on the separator between the top and bottom grids to match the arrows used within the application
- Updated background color and width of the splitter
- Double clicking the splitter will now expand the bottom section eliminating the need to drag and drop it in order to view its content.
