Ok, last revision for tonight: http://i.imgur.com/d3ARq.png
I fixed the link-box hanging over and I made the logo a bit bigger (60px, like currently on the Wiki) Ivan, yes it's more like Slate Grey, no idea what it's called. I have set a maximum width on purpose so that it doesn't degrade too badly on big screens. It was 50em (50 x font size), now it's 55em; For one-column text 40em would be better (too long lines are hard to read), but since it's a two-column layout, it's fine if it's wider. I've seen a website that fluidly switches between 2 and 3-column layout depending on how wide the window is (using CSS only) but I suppose that's hard to get to work portably (well, IE).
