Like Daniel, I agree to most of the changes and would like to thank you 
and whoever worked on it.

However, I object to your changes to the standard skin. Why do we *have* 
a skin system that allows users to select different skins? If you want a 
different skin, please make a new one. I don't mind a five-pages-long 
list of skins to select from on the preferences page (though others 
might), but please keep the current standard the way it is because 
people are used to it. Please.

I liked the thick borders because they showed very clearly where the 
actual article is. (I have slightly bad vision.) I also think the 
article heading is too small now. I thought you were only going to 
reduce the size of H2 onwards. I don't like the border around the footer 
because the previous way was cleaner and more consistent with the look 
of the rest (the top for instance). I don't like the light-blue colour 
of the bottom box because it looks bad in contrast to the yellow 
background of discussion pages.

All in all, please change the skin back.

Thanks,
Timwi
