- I understand that you are using the same non-gray color through the interface (orange) to get some coherence. This can be a good idea to avoid making bad color choices but we can do better and get: a) better usability. using different colors for different categories of things is a

I really like what you have done with the bar at the top. I, too, hate the gradient, and the coloured logo is a fine alternative. Excellent thinking with the keyboard, too. A lot of the other trouble has been addressed in the redesign, but you have a good eye for this stuff. I look forward to
