I agree with everyone's admiration for your changes.
Yeah, even _I_ like'em :)
I have one reservation, however - i much prefer the existing arrangement, if not necessarily the appearance, of the activity index at the top of the page. I think the regular matrix you use is too regular - i'd prefer the links to the configuration options pages to be more clearly separate from the "other" activities.
Like, in a separate frame, maybe? That's what I've been thinking, anyway...
However, the frame-full UI should be optional. For a frame-less UI, I agree with Ken.
I think having them in two separate columns, as we currently do, is not a bad arrangement - though i can see how it can be incongruous with everything else being arranged in tables.
Umm, I'm definitely _not_ a graphic designer (by far), but wouldn't a borderless table with one row of two columns, where each column contains a bordered/coloured table corresponding to the "columns" we have now, work nicely?

Harald, I hope you're not advocating using HTML <frame>s! I absolutely detest those things :). I think we can get all the benefits of frames without the headaches by using an arrangement similar to www.python.org and www.jpython.org (and not-coincidentally www.python.org/~bwarsaw :)
I'm hoping the sidebar idea will be useful for eliminating the HTML dead-ends we currently have.
