Without any intention to put down your most appreciated will to help with the look of the site, the patch is just a "hack" that does not solve the *real* problem: that the current CSS-based layout is broken and requires a specific font size to work. I'm not fond of the current state of the front page and a few other deeper-level pages, but the fix of the real problems is going to be more difficult that just changing a color here and there, IMHO :( > If the user accidently uses the font-size the designer > expected, the background color no longer matches exactly, > but I think it's close enough. Exactly. Which is the reason I don't really like hacking around colors to fix the layout problems :-/
