Thread for people to discuss and bounce around suggestions for tweaks to the appearance, layout, aesthetics etc for the new responsive site to keep it all separate from the Design Update thread that's looking at what's not working, functionality etc.
My 5.5 cents worth ...
Personally I quite like the layout of the new site - yes, took some time getting used to after 19 years and counting on the old site !
One of the things I do prefer about the old site is the simpler colour scheme, so while I hope to convince jase we need to add a "Classic" theme that's limited to the old palette (feel free to vote for/against), he's got to concentrate on more important fixes for now, so until that happy day, I've set up a custom theme of my own through Preferences. Most of the changes were to reduce the palette, and to set a lot of elements to the same colour so it flows better (to my little eye). Details below if anyone else wants to try, or if has any further suggestions:
I set header and footer background, legend (at the bottom of pages) background, main background and thread list and row background (for both odd and even row numbers) to DDDDDD plus set all the sidebar menus background to BCC7D4 and hover to 969FAA (ie set all side menu colours to the same as side menu 4).

And yes, I do realise that everyone has a different opinion and what I like might not work for
everyone anyone else. :>
