No, it has not changed, but I have got nearly no bad feedback about that thing 
at all. (And btw., what does the kate app design to do at all with the 
decision about the kde.org design, beside that I (and other people) don't 
agree with you on that, too ?)

Simply: Why should Sebastian waste his time for changing that "details" on his 
design (nor I) if we not even can agree that the left side menu will make it 
for the content pages. If we can agree that we use Sebastian's left side 
design for the pages, I surely would have no probs to remove the hardcoded 
fonts, tweak the contrast and remove the link "font change on hover" stuff.
If we wouldn't have wasted the time with that endless disscussion, root66 had 
have time to do that, but for the next 1-2 weeks he will have to work again a 
bit to earn money. (which won't mean that I won't fix stuff in that time, if 
we agree on a design)
