Yup, nice catch, Quim. I hadn't realized at first, but now you've mentioned it, what gives me the "orange visual overdose" impression is the links - specifically, the "plain-text" links inside the posts on the Planet maemo page for example.

As you said, the orange "decorations" are well done, even the news titles would be OK : it's the links that appear a lighter shade of orange (because the font is non-bold) that should be turned a lighter or darker shade of something else... I'm sure the pages would be a lot easier on the eyes.
