New stylesheet for the site.

Update: Users of browsers other than IE will have noticed a major change in the look of the site. Transparencies...without the transparency. I'll explain. A good friend of mine showed me a trick where you take a background image, make a copy of it, and lighten it to make it look like its being viewed through glass, and then have it as the background for areas you want to look translucent. It's a little more complicated than that, but I am not that great at explaining it. The great thing is, that unlike using the transparency properties in CSS like I used in the old theme, this method is valid CSS. The downside is, it doesn't work in IE 6 and below. And I'm not sure yet if it works in IE 7.
You have no doubt already noticed the new look, do you like it? :) It is heavily inspired by my new desktop theme that I posted about last. It is dark, and it is simple, like almost all of my themes. Simple looks good, simple is easy on the eyes, and simple is easy on my sanity :P I am working on a way to allow visitors to choose their own skin. I'll get back to you on that.
For new viewers, here is a screenshot of the old look:
