Not bad. But any chance you could change the link text color to a darker shade of blue (like the one used by wikipedia.org)? The lighter shade of blue is hard on my eyes. I think I have the same complaint for the new boost documentation style. And I know that it's not cool to underline the links, but I also like the way that it makes the link text stand out (again, see wikipedia.org). If it were me, I'd just copy the wikipedia style lock, stock, and barrel, but that's because I seem to have less graphics design skills than everybody else on this list (which is really depressing, since I also have less C++ programming skills). It's clear to me that the look of wikipedia.org was designed by someone who really knows what she/he is doing. With all due respect, as good as some of the efforts submitted so far have been, I don't think any of them meet the same high standards for readability and aesthetics. (But I would like to see Wallin's design in the flesh and not just as a PNG.) Of course, there might be other well-designed sites whose style is worth copying.
