I'd agree that the current layout is good. Next, I'd go with the fancier
one, but both are _too pastel_. How 'bout some good, saturated colors?

Having looked at all three, I rather like the current, but think it would
look better without the busy graphic below the black CLASSICCMP line. Of
the other two, I prefer the 'retro' one, but would recommend white instead
of pale green.

Saturated colors are so 90s. It's the new millenium, man. Pastel is in!

I like pastel colors. When I was into tweaking around with Linux and *BSD on
the desktop, I kept wondering why everyone else had these setups where
everything was dark. I couldn't see anything in those screenshots! I
seriously doubted that real work could be done with those color schemes.
Seriously: Am I the only one who can't see @#$% in this screenshot?

Due to some medical problems (long story), my color vision is kinda
squirrely. I have lots of trouble with dark colors; they all look black to
me. I can't tell the difference between navy and black slacks in a clothing
store, for instance. I think this is why I like light colors.
So if the colors are really screwed up on the web site, please let me know.
I might not be able to see it.

I have one word for ya: Photophobia. I'm one of the posterchildren for the
light-grey/dark-grey/black color schemes (going so far to hacking the
registry in windows to get to some of the colors you can't normally change
- way back in Win3.1) because my eyes are so light-sensitive that it's the
only way that I can stand to do my job...
[[ and it's still too bright for my liking... a *lot* of winders proggies
don't like dark backgrounds with light text... :-( <sniff> ]]

I have a friend kinda light that - can only see very *bright* primaries -
otherwise, the world is grey to him... He always had to go clothes shopping
with a friend to 'get advice' about colors & whatnot...
That's why he liked the army... he always knew the clothes would match... ;-)
