Use Classic theme and the usercontent.css I posted here; much less wasted space, more finger friendly, and dodges some image-related breakage (and loads faster, too).

As for the color scheme... I guess we each have our own tastes, but I cannot understand why some people find blazing white easier on the eyes. Someday, I'm gonna rework that CSS to play nice with (and fix) one of the light-on-dark, as they are easier to read.
