I agree.

I think we should work to change it from the flat grey we had before. I
think we all have different axes to grind. I'm just pretty sure the plain
white is in the direction of more blandness rather than less. I think mark's
screenshot is a little....over the top. But I confess that i'm no designer,
so I don't know what the best thing to do right now is. I think we should
solicit some ideas from people who  have more experience in graphic design
:)
