Thanks Adonis, Catalin. I am a little puzzled why "legibility" requires that my screen be treated like something from ten years ago..
And perhaps it would be better to have the page left-align rather than centre itself? Having that left nav pane indented from the left side of the window does feel weird. However, I don't desperately care about either of these issues, and I am certainly no UI expert! So over to you to decide whether to change this or ignore it. Overall, though, it looks very nice.
