This looks like a nice refinement.
Some immediate bits of feedback:
- The size of <pre> and {@code } elements differs. (14.4px vs 14px). This is
also a problem with the existing templates.
- Why px for most but not all measurements? I would personally prefer to see em
units used to tie sizing of elements to user's preferences.
(http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/css2em.htm) At minimum, use either all px or all em.
To see badness, drastically adjust the size of your default font. E A few UI
elements will now look weird (Trademarks, legal text, height of nav bars, etc.
- All of the text could be somewhat higher contrast. #666666 is too low for
body copy. Perhaps it's just the Deja Vu font. I keep thinking the text is
transparent.
- Verdana would be preferable to Arial as a fallback for headings.
