feedback on new wiki theme

I have to agree with Jordan here. While I appreciate the aesthetic appeal of
rounded corners, I am aware of the problems in using them and maintaining
cross browser portability.

A fluid width would be an improvement, especially if we consider the usage
scenario of someone placing a browser and a terminal window side by side to
follow a howto.

I do rather like the theme and it ties in with the colour scheme and so on
but from a usability point of view, namely consistency, why aren't we using
red for links as the other Ubuntu sites do?

The typeface choice is very clear and the theme doesn't overwhelm the
message - I think it's definitely suitable.

Cheers,

Dougie
