The font looks better in my browser, but otherwise I prefer the current
style.  The biggest thing I don't like about the new style is the fact
that the content is not set off from the chrome by shading.  Having it
shaded makes it easier for my eye to ignore it and just focus on
the content.

Hey, maybe you could make the sidebar only appear if the browser
supports javascript?  Then I'd never have to see it, and that
I would consider "clean" :)

Thanks for working on improving things.
