Using glyphs/text as icons, with a special font should be considered, i.e.: * Font Awesome - http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/ * Glyphicons - part of Bootstrap [1] or as regular icons [2] [1] http://getbootstrap.com/components/#glyphicons [2] http://glyphicons.com -- /Jacob Carlborg

Usability? The new ones flicker because they don't load with the right class set. This should be done on the server. The flickering is annoying when browsing library pages.

Yes, the colors should be changed. The  skinny white letters on the reddish-brown background are highly irritating. The suggested color scheme looks much better and is easier to read.

Also, a minor improvement would be to make the block with the menu items as wide as the block with the compiler/D version that's above it. I think the difference in size is caused by the red border around the menu block (which is not really necessary. (I think the width of the elements is in sync in the suggestion linked to above).
