I agree with the resolution statements. Right after I posted about not liking the size of the lightning theme, I noticed the message about the preferred resolution. I tried changing mine, but it made everything too small, so I went back to the 800 x 600. I'm using Netscape 8.2
By the way, previously there used to be a "legend" showing the symbols for items with new posts and those without. With this purple theme, it's very hard to tell the difference and I don't see anything explaining what they are. It seems that the purplish squares are a bit lighter in color for the categories with new posts, but it's not obvious like our previous themes.
