In addition I dislike white ( #F5F5FF ) of the "directory structure" blocks (a concept which incidentally makes the forums really user friendly). I would prefer to see it in the rather less glaring colour used in the reply to windows (#F4F4F4) or even the colour of the "reply to thread" window ( #CCCCCC )

I appreciate that any that anything to do with colour is subjective and subject to the likes and dislikes of individuals - but feedback was asked for and given.
Thanks for the more detailed feedback, I really like how the blue comes out on my monitor but as you indicated that can change depending on computers. Perhaps if you run an eye dropper over our logo in the top left, you can come up with a blue that might work better and offer it as a suggestion.

I do agree with you on the white though, and toned it down a bit with the #F4F4F4. I think it's a little more settling. Perhaps Klaatu can work out some secondary styles that are more on the darker side.

My reaction to your statement may have been a bit on the defensive side. Incidentally it was Klaatu who worked all the templating and styling out and I really like the way they all work with out logo. Just a team member coming to someone else's defense.
