With Wilson's help I've mocked up some nice-looking error pages to

rolled into the Django core -- good looking, functional error
messages by default strike me as a very good idea. Thoughts?
Wow, those are pretty! A couple of thoughts:
The arrow next to "Local vars" on the 500 page seems the wrong way
round to me. I think it should point down before you click it to
indicate that doing so will reveal more stuff, and point left when
the stuff is expanded to indicate that clicking again will roll it
all back up.
Pretty as it is, it doesn't match the style of djangoproject.com at
all. I'd like to see a bit more green! Not showing a logo is a good
idea though as we can't know for sure where the logo is hosted by
their install, and linking to one on our own site would fill our
referral logs with other people's error pages.
