I just checked and realize how crap my previous theme looked in IE; I hate how IE fucks everything up :p Hence the shift, since quite a number of readers to this blog are using IE. (what is it with Microsoft, eh?)

I personally prefer your ‘white’ theme as it proffers a relatively calm, relaxed and clear slate upon which complex ideas may be given the kind of attention that might be compromised if one had to contend with colours that agitate the information-processing, um…, process. Basically, a dark background concentrates and forces one’s attention on the contrastingly coloured words. A white background, however, relaxes the reader from the background even whilst s/he is assailed by ideas. It provides the reader room for momentary escape by a slight shift of the eyes to a calming white background. Black, however, forces introspection, heightens one’s sense of self-awareness and is less calming in quality.
IE is not w3c html compliant. IE v7 will not be as well. Micro$oft thinks they are the standard. :)
@Inquisitor: You’re right - I’m working on a theme of my own that will have to be cleaner, less fancy and more focused on ease of reading, since I tend to ramble on quite a bit. Colours like the black and off-black of other themes focu attention on “style” but isn’t aesthetically pleasing at all.
@carboncopy: IE7 will not be W3C compliant?! I heard different, actually.. are you sure or not? Because if you are, then I’ll be really frustrated: I have no idea how to code IE work-arounds and I have no idea what is not compliant with IE.
IE7 will not be _fully_ compliant with today’s W3C standards. It will be an improvement but it won’t be fully fixed. People say IE’s core is too muddled or corrupted to make it fully compliant or at least on par with browsers like Firefox. If they want to make it fully compliant, they would have to rewrite IE from scratch.
