Question New DIY Wiki theme?

I have been experimenting with a "new look" for the PeachParts DIY Wiki.
What do you think better or worse?

No, it's not a bummer. I'm not sure I like it either!

I guess the color is ok....I would like to see the letters in bold - makes it easier to read.

I prefer a darker font; maybe plainer and larger. There's a lot of blank screen real-estate to the right of the text - maybe make the links the same font size/style as the headers?

Red is never a good color for a lot of data or information.

Especially financial information.

I'll most likely switch it back to the old format after Christmas when I remove the snow from the Home Page and the What's New Page.

I upgraded the wiki software and the new version allows for "themes". Just for yucks I thought I would try out the new feature. It works well enough but, the old "theme" was easier to read. I've never been a big fan of Times New Roman font.
