So far I like everything but the colors. Too many sites have all shades of color in their columns. There is nothing wrong with a white background and black letters. It is easier to read/see for many of us.

This is definitely a matter of personal preference. Some people say it helps, others say it hinders. I'm personally undecided, I grew accustomed to the clean look. You can change your sidebars to the original colorless setting here.

Check again; "colorless" is now one of the options for the sidebar (mash here to change them back to the old ways).
