Not bad! I actually like this one. The only obvious object I have is the unbroken bar of red on the left. I think it might look much better if we darken the "sky" above the Mars horizon where the D logo sits. Not completely black, but a much darker red that it currently is, to provide some visual contrast. And maybe fade out the red towards the bottom of the page. Just something to soften the otherwise prominent red strip on the left.

Very nice! I like how when I split my screen to half-width, it automatically collapses the left navigation bar into an expandable button. Not sure how you achieved that (JS?) but that neatly solves the handheld vs. desktop dilemma that some of the other proposals suffer from. > On that note, I changed the main font size to 1em, period.

I constantly get annoyed at sites that try to force the base font to something other than 1em (the worst is setting font size in px, which is almost always wrong because they assume a certain screen resolution that inevitably isn't mine) and thereby screw up my preferred font size in the browser. The usual result is either over-cramped text overflowing from divs, or unreadable microscopic font sizes, accompanied by assorted bleeding layout elements that fail to fit because it's too rigid to adjust to my screen size. Makes me pull out my CSS stick and discard the site's CSS by forcing user CSS (plaintext ftw!). This proposal, OTOH, makes me feel comfortable. The spacing between the list items on the left seems a bit too sparse (either that, or the font size is a tad too small), but the general look-n-feel of this is much better than some of the other proposals I've looked at. It's the first one that doesn't make me cringe, anyway. I'd vote for it if it's in the PR queue.
