What does everyone think?

I like the dark matter. The lighter version does seem to strain my eyes more. Good suggestion about letting the "plasma" be an option. Besides, Dark Matter has a better verbal appeal than Plasma.

But in the informal testing I did, most people took longer to find foums on the home page in Dark Matter than they did in a ligher version.
Also, some people have never noticed the picture phone headline at the top of every page, but light background, it was the first thing people noticed.
I very much like how "Dark Matter" looks overall... but am concerned with cognitive issues.
