We're back!

Themes are coming, and I predicted a vocal group would really hate the design. Seemingly, though, the majority have found it more pleasing than the old, so I'm happy with the design. And I can only assume you have similar feelings for all the major Mac sites, since they basically share a similar design -- white area with text on the left, block of stuff on the right with a different color background. And they have (gasp!) a similar amount of whitespace, so I don't think i'm out in the open on this look.

As for the colors in the header, I didn't want to use an "all blue" layout up there, as then the header vanishes. At one point, I had a much more subtle toolbar below the logo. When I did, I would routinely get "I don't see where to submit a hint or get to the search page," etc. emails. Hence the yellowish tone and red text for the key areas of the site.

If you care enough to complain, and have a wonderful sense of design, by all means feel free to send me a JPEG of your proposed replacement -- I've admitted that I'm not a designer since the day I launched the site. I welcome input, but any time I've asked a critic for a better look, it seems I never receive any alternatives.

regards;
-rob.
