I actually like the new colour scheme more than the previous one-- it reminds me of the old, old layout, which I still like more than any of the newer versions.
But I am getting tired of each of the new layouts being just tweaking the colour schemes of the previous layout, with a few slight modifications to the HTML/CSS. C'mon, the layout has been mostly the same since I joined the site, three years ago. Don't you think it's time for a new new layout?
