It could be much better. It takes up too much space and is just too much to handle. The default white is better, but once something more simple and compact comes along, I'd be glad to try it out.
Not a fan of the current skin, or the default post font which is just larger than it needs to be. Also, the large space occupied by a user's name and basic info at the top of every post makes for a large amount of unnecessary vertical scrolling.
