I don't know if my sight is just super, but I actually make the text smaller (Control + Scroll down) on my computers because it just seems a bit too big for me. I guess people would hate it if I made a website :P!
I really only care about the information, and if it's readable (which it is, to me at least), and if the scheme is a bit ugly, so be it. I don't get why everyone complains, when, like someone pointed out, it's quite easily corrected to an individual's needs. I see no purpose in changing the whole thing (OK, maybe the fact that the text tends to fail to wrap with the background :P).
