Do you propose reducing width or enlarging font-size? Definitely I'm not a
web designer so my proposal is much more an empirical work than a
theoretically oriented one (although I'm already reading the site you've
pointed out! Really thanks!).

Feel free to suggest modifications, but I would really appreciate some
guidance on css code or even patches. I can send the actual css file if you
need it.

And what about the increase of the line-height? Please include here why do
you don't like it. I'd like to hear it.

Yaroslav, I also don't like the current background, but I still prefer it
comparing to the colors you've suggested. Probably we will also need some
(color) theory to inspire any change. Otherwise we will fall into a complex
territory called taste :)

What do you think?

Best wishes,
Arthur
