1. The colors are unfortunaly not a subject to change, but I agree with you 100%
The menu is set to 15% and the content is 80%. I've messed arounf with different ratios here, and at 1024x768 it looks just fine. At 1600x1200 or 1280x1024, which I usually use, it's like you say, spread to far across the screen.
any idea how to get around that prob??
