Thank you! That’s kind of you to say, and I appreciate the feedback (in general, by the way; whether it be positive or negative).
I agree that it would be an improvement to make this the default UI, though an even better approach (and one that would account both for site visitors who prefer my modifications, and those who prefer the aesthetics of the current site), would be to offer site visitors a choice of theme.
There are several unobtrusive and fairly low-effort (both for the site’s designers and for users) ways of doing this. One of my goals in creating these themes was to demonstrate that (contra certain worries I’ve seen expressed previously) it is very possible to create alternate themes, with different fonts and colors and even some differences in layout, that nonetheless break nothing and in no way ruin the site’s usability. I hope this encourages the LW 2.0 team to seriously consider the possibility of adding UI customizability to the site!
This looks like a great improvement. I would like it to become the default UI.
