Just going on E. Liddell's opinion regarding
the full screen. If there
are no objections from others I prefer the full screen approach with no
border.
My reaction may be idiosyncratic--I saw an awful lot of those
frame-at-the-top
frame-at-the-side pages back in the day (and coded the odd one myself).
E. Liddell, could you please run off a screenshot
of a version with a
blue
gradient and no border for comments on the list?
Here you go.

Hi,
Well, it's almost okay this way!
With the slight gradient on the sidebar, the site is less ''bold and
serious'' than without gradient at all.
Can we test 2 little details?
1. It is possible to underline the text of the categories in the sidebar?
Just to make it even clearer that these are separate categories.
(I know that I'm usually again over-separating elements, but in this
design, the way parts are separated is a little too subtle to my taste)
2. Is it possible to replace the blue RSS logo with the standard orange
one? Orange contrasts and fit very well with blue and would make the site
a little more colorful. I can provide the icon from the KFaenza icon
theme, if you want.
Another little thing, but I'm not sure it would be accepted here is a
false shadow displayed under the main screenshot, to make the site more
attractive. I can provide the false shadow picture if wanted.
Used properly (tastefully) I see no problem with it. Let's see what it
looks like.
Tim
