The design was carefully selected and adjusted. I wanted something that was "different", went with the overall colors of the site (finding white, black, and orange is NOT easy) and yet was clean and simple to use.
Yeah it's a bit harsh compared to the old "default" site and layout, but that was sort of the point.
The main text area is still white and simple to read and more or less hasn't changed, it's just the headers and highlight colors that changed a bit, but's actually more or less the same site as before.
Did anyone notice/try the Facebook, G+ or Twitter buttons on the first post? Anyone want to give those a try?
