There is too much eye candy on the site now. All that bright blue, orange, yellow, red, give the impression of a gaudy child's toy and distract, if not detract, from the content of the boards. "Dull" colours allow you to focus on the content, whereas bright colours divert the focus to the presentation.

This is a bit like Windows XP. It is mostly unuseable until you roll back to the classic look-n-feel.

In short, is there a setting to get the classic look back?

And yes, I have seen the Lite version but that is text only and not something I would want for everyday browsing.
