Yep, and the big fonts are intentional too. I like to be able to read things easily, same reason I chose serif fonts too (they are easier to read than sans-serif). > Putting the Blackbox logo on the very top of the left menu seems good. > Underlining the menu items is a bit superfluous, since most of them are > links anyway.

Yes, but I'd like to keep a unified convention everywhere on the site. When the visitor sees something red and underlined, they would instantly know it's a link and nothing else. > I'm not a big fan of the colour scheme either.

Its always been a bit retro-ish in my mind. :) As soon as the site is up, if people will provide me with alternate style sheets I will set up a JavaScript changer and a cookie. So you can choose the desired color scheme and have the site remember it for you. Actually, if anyone sends me such an alternate style sheet I will use it to test the JS changer with. The only rule is to only change the stylesheet, nothing in the page XHTML or the class/id names. I've reached a compromise XHTML that works cross-browser (or so I hope) and covers what I wanted it to do; it wouldn't be nice to mess it up just to make it look a certain way. I'm also open to submissions with a logo, too. Something that uses the black box on blackboxwm.sf.net and at least the Blackbox name. If it's not too much to ask, XCF or PSD format would be best, in case I need to adjust it. -- Ciprian Popovici
