I like your idea, i just have a few ideas i would like you to try. 1) try removing the gear and enlarging the mb to fill the space 2) the text at the bottom is too difficult to read. it may be because of the colour background. try a few different colour alternatives on white background and coloured backgrounds. The two colours i am interested in are red and blue to go with black (red/black or blue/black) thanks
