Those ugly, fat, dark red borders dominate the pages, which makes it difficult to read the text. Also, the light green text on grey background is impossible to read.

Furthermore, you can put less stress on the server by optimising the HTML - there's hundreds of bytes of superfluous, repeated HTML on every page, which must gobble up lots of bandwidth (both yours and that of visitors to the site).

I'm not so sure I'd call the borders fat. I don't find them distracting at all.

Also, I think you're over-riding the default font color for the page. I see black text on the page. I find it easy to read.

Perhaps your eyesight is better/different to mine. It's workable on some pages, but where there's a lot of it, like on pages that have details of work units, it's very distracting.

No, I don't. Go to a stats page that shows your work units in progress. That's where you will see the (light) green text on grey. Impossible to read.

Actually, in the case of the green text it's an accessibility problem, rather than cosmetics - not enough contrast. The borders on the other hand get too much emphasis/contrast for some eyes. Yes, I agree it's cosmetic but if I look at one of those pages for any length of time, I actually get sore eyes. I'm sure I am not alone...
