I made a number of changes tonight, all of which are relatively minor but add up together for a slightly new look. The overall aim with the changes was to make things seem a little fresher while improving readability.

Changes:

- New background and foreground colors. Fresher and bolder!

- Wider. The main content area is 40 pixels wider than it was before, putting YWS in line with most other sites. This should remove some of the cramped look.

- Text now has more space, and it's a little lighter now to improve readability.

- The headers in the sidebar no longer have the background.

It looks great. I thought everything was wider... It's very noticeable in a positive way!

Hey Nate! I love the fresh new colors; reminds me of a clear sky, you know? Anyway, there was one thing I noticed, and you might already know about it but I'll mention it anyway: the text in the "About Me" sidebar on member profiles is a darkish color that makes it rather hard to see against the light blue.
I aim to misbehave.

Thanks Payne for mentioning it. Just fixed it along with a few other bugs with the new layout.

For a short space of time I remained at the window watching the pallid lightnings that played above Mont Blanc and listening to the rushing of the Arve, which pursued its noise way beneath. The same lulling sounds acted as a lullaby to my too keen sensations; when I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion.
