When I went offline the 'brading theming' was _not_ that white on bright green stuff and the layout of gerrit was functional and sparse. having the main menu in tiny font in the middle of the screen is _not_ the gerrit theming loosing most of the contrast in lists is _not_ the gerrit theming So taking these change as 'something we have' that is somehow enshrined as representing our 'branding guideline' is a bit steep. At this point I find the original Vanilla Gerrit theme much more usable. I'm fine that there is efforts to 'mark the territory' brand-wise... but ergonomic considerations should not take second place to alleged eye-candy or 'branding'. > > Well, we will never find a theme that pleases all.

No this is not about taste, this is about USABILITY. good contrast between alternate line in a long list is _not_ a fashion statement. good positioning of menu and other click-able item is _not_ a fashion statement. efficient use of the screen real-eastate is _not_ a fashion statement.
