By "chiclet" main navigation style, you mean the tabs? Then I think we should keep Flat Grey as it is (because there are advantages

I was thinking we could use colors from the Apache logo and the BizznessTime theme. I would also like to get rid of the "chiclet"
main navigation style, and maybe have that menu in a collapsible left column.

Flat Gray. But you're right it needs a
few visual improvements.
Let me think about this, maybe somethink comes to my mind
