Go ahead and tinker with it. It won't hurt my feelings. :) I stayed with the non-touching lines (despite it being a pain in the ass) because that is what you see on the default theme at Wikipedia. :) I think it looks cool, anyways. I have changed the colour to the midpoint of meta and Wikipedia (#EEEEEE).
I've softened the look a bit - blocks of colour instead of lines & I've changed the DTD so Mozilla goes into standards mode rather than Quirks.
I've switched to ems -- try scaling the fonts up now :-) the top bar and the side bar both grow to fit
I've used part of the hack here: http://devnull.tagsoup.com/fixed/
to make it work in IE-6 -- the quickbar is no longer fixed, but the page is readable :-)
Unfortunately, the topbar is also absolute in your version, that is something that I think is very useful to have fixed (seeing as I am often jumping from article to article, and always having an available 'Go' and 'Edit' button would be very convenient.
I know other hacks that will work with IE-6, but I didn't want to add them in until the regular version had settled down. I will peek at your ems code. :) Also, I miss the borders. Would people rather have the bordered, or non-bordered version?
