May I change the layout of the homepage of the
English Wikipedia to that

would ask this on [[Talk:Main Page]], but not many people look there
that often, and this would be a huge change.
IMO that is HMTL madness -- WAY too many spurious colors that mean
nothing and whose only purpose is to look "purty" in the eyes of the
designer. We have already worked out a more conservative color scheme for
the Main Page but were waiting for some earth-shattering announcement to
make to go with the upgrade (such as "The Wikimedia Foundation is open
for business and is now accepting donations!" - not that we would say
that on the Main Page but we would have a link to a press release).
See:

Which is based on:

Why do the section headings "Encyclopedia" and "Community" have
a line
height smaller than their font size? Text is really rather difficult to
read when all the descenders are truncated.
