To be honest, I find it a bit horrid to read through. The light and dark blues are just too far apart in the spectrum for it to be easy on the eyes. Also the blue lines don't show up very well on the new darker blue background...
I'm getting somthing similar on the front page every now and then. The colors get screwed up, for instance, the "In the news" column on the left, will be blue and the writing also blue. Also using Opera. I've never had this problem before today.
