@Moegreche This is a great point. We need to bring it back somehow. We're eventually going to pull a few things off the header as well and make it less busy.
@Koshionos This is a first attack. The rest of the website will move this direction gradually, starting most likely with the remainder of the front page.
I find this yellow color very aggressive to the eye. Personnally, I prefer darker colors, they hurt less. I hope you won't turn the whole background this color!
BTW, here in France, it's quite the same color as La Poste, the national postal service ;-)
