Not to add to the chorus of tweakers, but if I could change just one 
thing about the current theme, it would be to remove full justification 
of the text.  In text like ours with frequent long expressions, URLs, 
and the like, full justification is just an invitation to mangle the 
spacing of a paragraph.  The paragraphs are also quite short and often 
interrupted by samples, lists, headings, and so on, losing the design 
advantage of a clean right edge anyway.

Books, magazines, and newspapers look good with full justification, web 
pages do not.  Can we switch to left-justified instead?
