I like the new design. Kind of. It's o.k. for the forums to have a light background. Comfortable to read, practical and so. But I can't adjust myself to the gallery images on off white. In my opinion the images are better presented on a dark dark (if not black) background. Colors on black are brighter than on white. I think even the fancy dark brownish grey (an elegant color btw) of the frames would enhance the gallery.
