[edit] Red background?

A bit hard to read the text (especially the redlinks!), no? ;-) Kirill Lokshin 14:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree this is hard to read and not as visually appealing as it might be. I really like the blue and grey Hal was using for the menu. Maybe use yellow and red for accents. BusterD 21:37, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah that's what I was going to try. Looks better. CQ 22:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm throwing some different looks at the reader. Please revert to the one you like best. BusterD 22:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

What about the Gray for the title background and Blue for the Box border with something like #F5F5F5 (SmokeWhite) for the main background? I dunno. CQ 22:10, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Good call on the smoke white. I like the steel blue better than a more pure hue. I'm going to stop and let others look and decide. BusterD 22:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I was getting used to the steel blue and smoke gray. The outlines don't look that great, that's why I dropped them. BusterD 22:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

How about this: gray outlines matching header color? BusterD 23:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
